Initiation to the sabrage of champagne like Napoleon!
Boursault
Initiation to the sabrage of champagne like Napoleon!
Did you know that the art of champagne sabering dates back to Napoleonic times? In the heart of a thriving vineyard in the village of Boursault, Champagne Le Gallais invites you to discover this fine tradition.
History tells us that Napoleon opened a bottle of champagne with the back of his sabre. Thus was born the art of champagne sabering, a tradition perpetuated ever since, to symbolize a happy event. Immerse yourself in this fascinating tradition during a wine tour of the Champagne Les Gallais estate. While tasting the subtle flavors of the estate's products, you'll also be able to admire the authentic landscape before you.
Champagne Le Gallais welcomes you to an enchanting setting where you can take part in a workshop designed to transform you into a master of sabrage. Accompanied by a guide during the activity, you'll begin your apprenticeship on empty bottles before moving on to full bottles.
In addition to the traditional technique, you'll learn other atypical ways of sabering champagne, such as sabering with an axe or other objects.
Afterwards, you'll have the chance to enjoy your hard work and toast your success and progress!

About
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.
