Veuve Clicquot
Located at 12 Rue du Temple, Reims, France, Veuve Clicquot is recognized as the oldest ‘modern’ champagne houses. Founded in 1772 by Philippe Clicquot-Mulron, Veuve Clicquot is credited with making champagne the wine of choice for the bourgeoisie and royalty. The 1811 Comet Vintage of Veuve Clicquot is recognized as the first modern champagne vintage.
Madame Clicquot working in tandem with her cellar master, Antoine de Muller, immersed herself in the production of champagne and was a marketing expert in her time. She saw to it that the royal courts throughout Europe had access to her champagnes making it a sought-after wine across the continent. To this day Veuve Clicquot is distinguished by its yellow label, the same label that kings and queens recognized.

Taittinger

It is a one day visit to the historic wine cellars of Taittinger. A one day visit that immerses you in centuries of history. Located in Reims, France, this renowned Champagne House was founded by a family that traces their wine making roots back to the 1800’s on land that has grown vineyards since the middle ages, utilizing “cellars” that were created by chalk mines during the Roman Empire. Despite the historic significance and family history The House of Taittinger is considered a “new” house of premium champagnes.
A tour of the champagne “cellars” which are remnants of a chalk quarry worked during the Romans in the 4th Century is a highlight of the Taittinger tour. The monks of the 13th century expanded these caves beneath the Saint Nicaise Abbey to house their wines. The Abbey was destroyed during the French Revolution, the underground world of quarry pits caves and extensions remained in tact and are today used by the Taittinger Family.
