Le Gallais Experience: visit the Clos de Boursault and taste 3 Champagnes
Combine wine tourism and history with a visit to the heart of the Clos de Boursault and a tasting of three Le Gallais champagne vintages. The experience promises to be enriching, especially for champagne and history lovers.
Located in the heart of the Marne Valley, Le Gallais Champagne continues to perpetuate the Champagne tradition to produce exceptional wines, dear to this land. It is one of the few estates to have a closed area where you can find the vineyards, the press, the vat room and the cellars. During your visit, you will appreciate the charm and the particularity of this fabulous place, which guarantees the quality of Le Gallais Champagnes
The enchanting landscape in the heart of the Clos de Boursault will naturally incite you to take a walk in the vineyard. During this walk through the vineyards, you will put yourself in the shoes of a winegrower to discover the process of champagne making, from the vine to the flute. This will also be an opportunity for you to immerse yourself in the history of this vineyard and its success over the years. Your guide will share with you the passion of the Le Gallais family for their exploitation since 1927.
To end your visit in beauty, you will be invited to taste 3 vintages of Le Gallais champagne, in an extraordinary setting on the Terrace of the Abbeys, with its glass roof overlooking the entire Marne Valley. Do not hesitate to immortalize this moment for posterity!

CHAMPAGNE LE GALLAIS
Charlotte Le Gallais and her team cultivate 4 hectares of vines in the historic Clos du Château de Boursault, owned by the family since 1927. The 3 Champenois grape varieties are cultivated there and divided into 7 parcels in the four corners of the property. The Domain is now certified High Environmental Value.
The press, the cellars and the winery are also located in the vineyard, a few hundred meters away from the most distant plot, which guarantees a great freshness of the fruit at the time of its pressing and its transformation.
Today we welcome visitors to the Domaine to share our passion, from the vine to the flute. Within this 16th century Clos, unique in Champagne, we have built a confidential glass roof offering a 180° view on the vineyard of the Marne Valley and on the towers of the Château in order to share privileged and intimate moments with our visitors.
