A lot of the large champagne houses were closed over the festive season but we managed to get guided visits at Moet et Chandon and G.H. Mumm. It was amazing to see the underground network of champange cellars that lie beneath these champagne houses. Each had about 25km of underground cellars. It was also interesting to visit a smaller champagne producer and learn about the production process. It was slightly bizarre because to visit the smaller champagne makers, you go to their front door, ring the doorbell and ask if you can sample/purchase their wines. We felt a bit like intruders but that's just the way it works over there.
