Champagne
One of the good things about the chateau is its location It is not just a place to stay but good for touring. On Tuesday we traveled a few km to Epernay which is the hub of the Champagne district. There are many producers but we chose Moet & Chandon to visit. A most interesting tour where we were taken to the Caves( Cellars) and were shown how Champagne is produced. A process originally worked out by the Monk Dom Perignon They have 18 miles of cellars and champagne dating back to the 1890's. The tour finished with a glass of their product
Next was a visit to Hautville the little village where Dom's abbey is. There is an excellent view point where you get an extensive view of the valley. A late Lunch and a visit to a few other little villages completed the day
Feeding 30+ people is a challenge but the group has been divided into 3 teams each taking turns to produce the evening meal. Ours was Monday night so we can sit back and enjoy the meals from now on
