Hidden gem in the Grand Cru

Located in Tours-Sur-Marne this experience is unforgettable. Just 15 minutes from our rental in Epernay and around the block from the esteemed Laurent-Perrier you will find Champagne Lamiable. On the border of the region deemed Grand Cru this small winery stands tall. The workshop was delivered in english by Ms. Helen Fauchard, whose true passion and extensive knowledge made the experience engaging and fun. For those that are new to the intricacies of the process you will be able to understand the information. Those that have a foundation of information will be pleased to delve deeper into the challenges of producing wine to the high standards that make Champagne so special. After a short walk through the cellars you will be taken to the production facility, here at the end of your 2.5 hour private tour you will each get the opportunity to complete the final processes on creating Champagne before you walk away with a commemorative split, a ton of great pictures and a heart full of memories.
Ms. Fauchard was easy to coordinate with via email and I will continue to recommend this tour to all of my friends and family.

This was a great experience. We were greeted personally upon arrival. Got an impressive tour with plenty of room for questions. After that a very interesting blind tasting that really made us understand the full influence of dosage. And that was all before the actual disgorgement of our own bottles that was fun learning activity.
We had a great time at Lamiable and would highly recommend this experience, it is totally worth the money spent.
And of course they make lovely Champagnes you get to taste and buy at very reasonable prices.
After this day I not only love to drink Champagne but now also understand it a lot more.

Excellente expérience entre amis. Le propriétaire était à notre écoute, a pris le temps de répondre à nos questions et nous a donnés toutes les explications nécessaires. La dégustation était à l'aveugle, c'était assez fun et ce n'est pas facile de reconnaître quand on est novice. Repartir avec sa bouteille à son nom c'est très sympa, dommage qu'on n'en a qu'une

Hélène nous a accueilli avec beaucoup de bienveillance. Nous avons fait un tour avec de nombreuses explications essentielles à la bonne compréhension de ce qu’est un domaine familial mais pas seulement.
Une dégustation ludique qui permet d’aller plus loin dans la compréhension du vin.
Puis vient la dégorgement et l’habillage, on sort de cette expérience en ayant compris beaucoup de phases et problématiques de l’élaboration du champagne.
Merci Hélène pour votre passion du partage.
On recommande 1000 fois.

We visited Lamiable champagne vineyard just after harvest and we got a full overview of champagne producing. Our fluent english speaking hostess Ellen was really professional with champagne producing as well as teaching us how to taste champagne. The disgorging process was really eyes opening experience.

This was the highlight of our two weeks in the champagne region. Helene was a fantastic host. We signed up for the tour and disgorgement/bottling experience which included a comparative tasting of champagnes differing only in their dosage. Another couple had booked but their plane was delayed so we were spoiled by Helene. The visit was about 2.5 hours and we toured the chalk cellars and saw the press and vats (picking had ended 4 days prior and the press has already done its job). This was so much better than the big champagne houses. Lamiable bottles 55,000 a year not counting the two half bottles we prepared and took home and the product is wonderful, as is the setting. It has its own vineyards and is a classical family operation. Must have a car as it’s in a village in the beautiful Marne valley. 100/100 ranking.

Die etwas andere Tour zum Champagner

Natürlich gehört zu dieser Tour anfangs auch eine Einführung in die Familientradtion sowie ein Gang durch die Produktion und die Keller. Hélène, unsere kompetente und unterhaltsame Begleiterin, hat uns dann aber dazu eingeladen, mit einer Blindverkostung unsere Geschmacksnerven für den Champagner zu trainieren. Anschließend haben wir dann unseren "LIeblings-Champagner" selbst produziert und verkorkt. Die 3 Stunden vergingen im Flug.

Loved the relaxed and informative nature of the tour. Lots of opportunities to
Chat and ask question. Guide was so knowledgeable with amazing English. Took the time to find out about us, our level of understanding of the champagne area and making process and tailored the information for us.

Was wonderful learning the history and ongoing practices of the winery as well as doing some hands on tasks. Well paced with tasting in the middle and dosing to our preference.

Great way to spend a morning and get to know more about this wonderful part of France.

We attended the tour round the Lamiable cellars with our young daughter for who there was enough things to se to keep her busy for the 2+ hrs. Our guide, Helene, was great being both very enthusiastic and she also tailored the tour very well to our level of wine making and champagne knowledge. It was great to learn lots of subtle nuances about the champagne making process and region. Much more enjoyable, educational and fun than the big brand tours we went on. Definitely recommend
