Champagne Remy Massin et fils

Reviewed By matthewrW1538WQ - Camberley, United Kingdom

Based on other reviews we (two couples) travelled to Remy Massin Champagne following our Sat-Nav from Troyes which took about 35mins using the Peage. We decided to miss the tour at 3pm, electing to taste a couple of Champagnes with a view to purchasing a few bottles and arrived around 3.45pm. The tour and tasting was just finishing and those people were leaving and so we received a personal tasting session of 5 different Champagne varieties with the owners grand-daughter. We belive the Champagne is very good - based on our tasting as we have not actually opened a bottle on our return home yet - and we purchased a mixed case of six bottles each at an average price of c.16E/bottle (you get an increasing discount if you buy 6,12, or 24 bottles and they will split this if you go as a group). We were probably at the Champagne House for around an hour and it was a very enjoyable experience.

Champagne DOMI

Reviewed By helen1kuroki - West Chester, United States

My daughter and I went on a one day champagne tour excursion from Paris. Just 8 people were in the group, all English speakers. We had a French tour guide who did a wonderful job translating from French to English as we were shown the property and guided through the process of champagne making by the owner Stephane. We had a wonderful time in his tasting room as well. A kind and unassuming gentleman, this champagne master was a wonderful host. As others have mentioned, he does not currently ship outside of France but we were able to purchase a few bottles there. The trip was a delight and a real highlight of our two weeks in France.

A lovely little spot for quite a nice champagne. We tasted and then purchased a 2015 vintage blanc de noirs. It felt like being in someone’s house. It was slightly awkward being just two of us for the tasting but of course a little champagne relieves the tension. In nicer weather it would be fun to sit outside.

Champagne Julien Chopin

Our house is located in the village of Monthelon, 6 kms from Epernay, the capital of Champagne in the « Coteaux Sud d’Epernay ». Monthelon is a typical Champagne village, nestled in the heart of the vineyard. The family has cultivated our vineyards at Monthelon since the XVIII century, but it was only in 1947 that the brand name Julien Chopin was born (or created). Our vineyards are located in the “Coteaux Sud d’Epernay” where Pinot Meunier is the main “cru” (villages of Monthelon, Mancy and Moussy) and in the “Cotes des Blancs” for Chardon-nay (villages of Chouilly, Cuis and Grauves).

Champagne Joseph Desruets

A wonderful story... It was the year 1888 in Hautvillers, in the same village where Dom Perignon discovered champagne, that the family business was born. Edmond Alexandre and Laure Vautrin-Gillet pressed grapes and sold still wine to large champagne houses. From one generation to the next, the House refine their ancestral expertise to obtain wines with characters and flavours that results in a unique champagne. Today, Matthias and Thomas Kim EunDesruets are the sixth generation maintaining the tradition. Born in Seoul and adopted by François Desruets, they received their apprenticeship in the art of vine and wine in the LycéeViticole de la Champagne, and in the family cellar. An incomparable style... To maintain their identity and traditions, Matthias Eun and Thomas Kim always press their grapes the traditional way with the wooden oak press "Darcq-Flamain" used by their ancestors since 1888. Each cuvée carries with them over 125 years of history and passion of the House. With a capacity of 4000 kg, the oak wine press carefully crushes the grapes over a long process that give all the subtlety and rarity to the champagnes Joseph Desruets.

This family run 7th generation champagne house gives you an authentic taste of how a boutique champagne house runs. We tasted 3 different champagnes and had a tour of the whole production process. They also have the oldest oak grape press in the champagne region. We’d highly recommend!

As we walked Avenue de Champagne we first ran in to Moet Chandon & reserved an afternoon tour & tasting. We then continued on looking at all of the houses & trying to determine where we may want to stop for a tasting. As we made our way to nearly the end of the Avenue we spotted Elodie D. We saw several patrons sitting in a lovely (not to formal) garden. We went in to check it out & like everyone else's comments we were delighted by stories of this champagne house & it's history of being in one family for generations & for the last 4 generations has been run by the women in the family. Fabrice (the husband/co-owner) was friendly & informative of the region & of their vineyards & wine growing production. He told us about each of their most popular vintages so we settled in with a delicious charcuterie tray & a few glasses of champagne. We spent a lovely 2 hours sipping, eating & chatting with Fabrice. We LOVED their champagne & their hospitality. Highly recommended so keep walking down the avenue until you find it. Worth the walk.

Reviewed By MelesMelesUK - London, United Kingdom

An outstanding experience! We booked online, and arrived for a 10AM tour and tasting. The tour was conducted wonderfully by a knowledgeable guide, and the cellars are quite beautiful. The tasting was superb, with very generous pours of some fascinating and delicious wines. Their wines are truly unique among producers because of the oak barrel ageing, and well worth visiting for the superb value. We were also very appreciative that our dog (carried in a small backpack) was welcomed through the entire tour and tasting. A lovely experience, and we will certainly be back to stock up every time we are nearby!!
