Tour and Champagne tasting lunch
The roots of this Champagne are in Passy-Grigny, a village in the Marne Valley where a famous priest, had a visionary and promising idea… The generous epicurean was an iconic vine growing figure in this Marne Valley’s village. He loved eating in the village's vine growers’ homes and brightened up banquets with his passion. He knew that the wine they enjoyed at mealtimes every day had a bright future...
The vineyards in the Marne Valley area, e.g. the village of Passy-Grigny, have been sculpted by several little streams running into the Marne river. Passy-Grigny stands at the top of the hills meaning it is exposed to very different elements which gives Meunier its own unique personality.
