Tasting rather basic - sitting outside in the shade and enjoying the drink
The tour itself was very interesting. The guide was friendly and knowledgeable. We learned a lot about the history of the house, the process of champagne making, and while this is one of the smaller houses, its cellars are very impressive.
Highly recommend this tour, especially if you want to avoid the ostentation of the bigger houses. You have the lovely little villages around, miles and miles of beautiful vineyards. And of course the champagne is delicious!
