Guided tour of Château de Taisne

Immerse yourself in the heart of the wine-growing region of the village of Les Riceys, renowned for its three prestigious AOC (Appellation d’Origine Contrôlée) wines: champagne, vin de coteaux champenois and rosé des Riceys. Here you’ll discover the Château de Ricey-Bas, a listed historic monument and one of the oldest strongholds on the Côte des Bars.

Founded in 1086, it has undergone many transformations over the course of its history and ownership: its story is part of the great history of France. Charles and Ségolène de Taisne, descendants of the family who have occupied the château since 1837, live here with their children, making it a lively and bustling place to live.
