Patrimoine crayères – Visit Marquis de Balincourt at Domaine Balincourt
What would you say to descending nearly 30 meters underground for an exceptional immersion in the Crayères Balincourt? Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, this fascinating site invites you to discover 2,000 years of Champagne history and tradition.
In the heart of Châlons-en-Champagne, this guided tour reveals the mysteries of these ancient Gallo-Roman quarries, dug into the chalk since the Cretaceous era. Used for centuries, they now provide the perfect setting for the ageing of Maison Louis Balincourt vintages.
Along the way, discover the history of this exceptional site and the steps involved in Champagne-making, thanks to ancient tools and fascinating explanations from an expert guide. A true immersion in the world of traditional know-how, still very much alive.
To round off the experience, it’s time for a tasting! Two cuvées will be on offer: Brut Séduction and, depending on your choice, Brut Premier Cru or Rosé Brut. An opportunity for sensory discovery to be savored to the full.
Book your visit now and enjoy an immersive experience at the heart of Champagne’s heritage!
