It is in Balnot sur Laignes, near Les Riceys, that Champagne Gremillet invites you to discover champagne. The time of a visit, plunge into this fascinating universe by meeting the wine growers of the House. Between bucolic strolls, historical trips and sensory experiences, this immersive experience is full of exceptional discoveries.
Champagne Gremillet is above all a love of the land and the vine, which the Gremillet family has preserved for decades. During your visit, travel through these family values and go to where it all began: the vineyard. Covering 40 hectares, this vineyard will offer you a unique panorama, whose history will be told to you step by step. The Clos Rocher is the king, with its cadole standing quietly at the top of the hill.
The path will then lead you to the Arboretum, which gathers 82 trees of various origins. Designed by Jean-Michel Gremillet, the founder of Champagne Gremillet, this green space represents the different countries where his champagne is consumed.
After this journey through history, the cellar of the House awaits you for a sharing of know-how. Discover the method of production of the vintages, between the press and the vats. You can also become a master of disgorging by attending a workshop given by a professional.
The visit will, of course, end with a champagne tasting. In the spotlight, 3 of the best Champagne Gremillet vintages, to be enjoyed with a breathtaking view from the showroom.
