The entire world knows of this region which produces the “king of wines” and the “wine of kings”. This is the result of a combination of a special sub-soil, which is chalky and rich in minerals, and the know-how of the vine-growers in combination with that of the champagne houses.

This fabulous nectar, without which no celebration is perfect, is actually the fruit of a skilful blend of various crus.

In the 18th century, Ruinart was the first champagne house to have bottled these magical bubbles. Since then, each champagne house has been preparing its own wine, in the search of a characteristic and consistently exceptional flavour, be it the Brut Blanc de Blancs or the Brut Blanc de Noirs, Rosé Blanc de Noirs or Rosé de Saignée, Demi-Sec, Doux, Demi-Doux, etc.

This wine-growing region stretches as far as the eyes can see, forming rather mellow landscapes with the forests, fields, lakes and rivers that surround it, where traditional village bell-towers are scattered here and there, and also the spires of the cathedral of Reims, where the kings of France used to be crowned.

The former capital of France has retained a rich heritage: cobble stoned streets, timber-framed houses, special hotels from the Renaissance period, etc. which border this paradise of fashion afficionados: the first and the largest factory outlet centre in Europe with about 400 leading brands.
