Personal wine tour - Philippe Glavier We arrived at the unassuming production facility and were greeted by owner Veronique, who gave us a very thorough tour of the facility, some of the plots of grapes, and provided an excellent lesson on the history and terroir of the region. This family run business produces some of the best champagne we have tasted. It was a wonderful experience to meet the grower-producers, Veronique and her husband and to see the dedication to high quality that is evident in their wine. I highly recommend this champagne, business, and region!

A great winery tour! We had a small group tour which we thoroughly enjoyed. Sébastien did a good job in English and was informative and entertaining. We tasted three vintages and they were all delightfully different to most Champagnes. Excellent value.
