What types of champagne will I get to taste?

Do I need to be an adult to take part in a tasting workshop?

For a tasting in a medieval atmosphere, the doors of the former residence of the Counts of Champagne, now owned by the family, open to guests.
Champagne Mumm
Originally from Cologne in Germany, the Mumm brothers settled in Reims in 1827 to start a trading business. They integrated easily, and their champagne won over even the highest courts of Europe, where they became official suppliers.
Right in the heart of Reims, this house stands as a symbol of excellence steeped in history. Enthusiasts especially enjoy the tasting and the discovery of the origins of the famous Cordon Rouge cuvée.

Canard-Duchêne
Victor Canard and Léonie Duchêne, a cooper and a winegrower's daughter, founded their champagne house in 1868 in the heart of the Montagne de Reims. With the legendary Pinot Noir grape in hand, everything was in place to produce an exceptional champagne.
A guide leads the visit of the house's cellars. Several formulas come with tastings and walks through the vines when the weather allows.
Champagne Moët & Chandon
In 1743, wine merchant Claude Moët founded his house in Épernay. It only became Moët & Chandon in 1833, when Pierre-Gabriel Chandon de Briailles, the founder's grandson-in-law, joined the business.
Pioneers and visionaries, they exported early on and quickly gained international renown. Visiting the house gives access to the favourite residence of Napoleon Bonaparte as well as several centuries of know-how passed down from generation to generation.
Champagne Mercier
The house was founded in 1858 by Eugène Mercier, then only 20 years old. The young founder's first goal was to make champagne accessible to everyone.
A constant innovator, he left a mark that's still visible today. It's also the only house offering a unique experience with a guided visit of its 18 km of cellars, aboard a self-driving train.
