Visit to La Cave aux Coquillages with tasting of Champagne Legrand-Latour
In the heart of Champagne’s vineyards, La Cave aux Coquillages invites you on an unusual tour of a wine-growing region and a geological treasure trove. Nestled beneath the vines, this unique cellar plunges you into a 45-million-year-old past, when a tropical sea still covered the region.
Accompanied by an enthusiastic guide, you’ll explore over 500 meters of galleries carved out of the Lutetian rock. Here you’ll discover thousands of perfectly preserved fossilized shells, veritable witnesses to a fascinating natural heritage. This extraordinary setting will also show you the incredible influence of the soil on champagne aromas.
The visit continues with a tasting of biodynamic cuvées, produced by a family of winegrowers for four generations. Through this sensory experience, you’ll be introduced to oeno-geology: the art of understanding the link between earth and wine.
Book your visit and let yourself be surprised by a unique encounter between the marine world and the art of champagne, in an unforgettable setting!

About
SARL LEGRAND-LATOUR - LA CAVE AUX COQUILLAGES
This is a Champagne cellar like no other, where geology, paleontology and oenology come together. Nestled on the slopes of the Marne Valley, a guided tour takes visitors back in time to the Lutetian era, 45 million years ago, when a tropical sea stretched as far as Champagne.
Exceptionally well-preserved fossils from this period, for which the area is famous, have been set in their natural context and presented along a trail of underground galleries.
The unusual nature of this cellar also highlights the special relationship between geology and the Champagne wines of the Legrand-Latour family estate.
