• Abbaye Saint-Pierre d’Hautvillers - On the journey, visit the charming village of Hautvillers, the birthplace of Champagne. Perched on a hillside, it offers stunning views of the Montagne de Reims, the Marne Valley, and the Côte des Blancs! Nestled against the nearby forest is a Benedictine Abbey, where Dom Pérignon served as intendant-cellarer in 1668. Born in 1639 in St Menehould in the Marne, he was among the monks who enhanced the wine quality in the region. His discovery of blending different grape varieties and vintages secured his legacy. Behind the Abbey’s enclosed garden, the view is breathtaking over the “grand cru” and “premier cru” vineyards of the Champagne Appellation. It’s the perfect place to learn about the vine’s lifecycle and the meticulous “handmade” work of the Champagne winegrower. “Good wines without good grapes” indeed!

My birthplace is Epernay, the core region of Champagne, where I was born in a maternity hospital named Auban-Moet, constructed in 1893 due to the generous contributions of the Moët & Chandon family. Infants born here are welcomed into the world with a taste of Champagne from their earliest moments! This singular initiation paved the course of my life, compelling me to pursue work on the chalky slopes and cultivate a connection with nature and the vineyard. My heart holds endless tales of skies, sceneries, and companionship, which I cannot conceal. Welcome, to the home of Champagne!
