we arrived in the late afternoon at Hotel Jean Moët, a 5 star exquisite boutique hotel in Èpernay, just around the corner of l'Avenue de Champagne.
Before dinner, some of us went on a tour of l'Avenue de Champagne and had a Champagne tasting there. Its name derives from the presence of many leading Champagne producers such as Moët et Chandon, Mercier and others.
L'Avenue de Champagne (The Champagne Avenue) in EpernayThe Avenue de Champagne extends for nearly 1 km, lined on both sides by magnificent private dwellings lovingly constructed by the Champagne Houses. Below them are about 100 km of wine cellars.
The late 17th Century marked the construction of magnificent cellars, which by the end of the 18th Century made this avenue the address of choice for pioneering Epernay Champagne producers. Some were originally built as a Head Office, others as the private home of the proprietor.
The arrival of the railway then brought a boom in business that fostered a taste for architecture on a monumental scale. The avenue became home to grandiose properties of every style that were constantly rebuilt as successive wars and fires took their toll.
Famous residents of the avenue include such great names in Champagne as Moët & Chandon, Perrier-Jouët, Boizel, de Venoge, Vranken, Pol Roger, Mercier and G.H. Martel.
The Avenue de Champagne is now a (UNESCO) World Heritage site, listed under the heading Champagne hillsides, Houses and Cellars.
Tasting at the l'Avenue de Champagne
We walked up and down l'Avenue de Champagne and stopped for tastings at different places. Some of us went to Champagne Perrier-Jouët. Annette and I sat down with David Miller at Champagne Collard-Picard.
