Patrimoine crayères – Visit Marquis de Balincourt at Domaine Balincourt
How about descending nearly 30 meters underground for an exceptional immersion in the Balincourt Crayères? Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, this fascinating place 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, carved into the chalk since the Cretaceous period. Used for centuries, they now provide the perfect setting for aging the vintages of Maison Louis Balincourt.
As you make your way through the tour, discover the history of this exceptional site and the stages of Champagne production, thanks to antique tools and fascinating explanations provided by an expert guide. A true immersion in the world of traditional craftsmanship, still very much alive today.
To round out this experience, it’s time for a tasting! You’ll be offered two cuvées: the Brut Séduction and, depending on your choice, either the Brut Premier Cru or the Rosé Brut. A sensory journey to be savored to the fullest.
