NOTHING I stayed for 2 nights (very much off season) and found the rooms to be historic, comfortable and very nice! It's like you're staying at a rich old French relatives house - tasty breakfast, lovely spaces and great wine. Location wise you're in the middle of Champagne Row. Bar Brut is across the street and highly recommended. There's a small tasting room, and breakfast is tasty. I loved my stay here!!

My favorite tasting along Avenue de Champagne!…read more I didn't stay the night here, just did the Sensory Tasting in their cellar on property. Our tasting host was so friendly and knowledgeable which elevated the experience. The variety of champagnes were delicious and it was so fun with the addition of the "sensory" aspect of the tasting to try to identify and pair the subtle aromas in each. I only wish it was a little longer, being only one hour and totally private it felt a little rushed at the end so they can bring in the next tasting appointment. But we did take a bottle of our favorite champagne home after stopping by their shop!

Second stop we came to on Champagne row had a unique champagne offering I liked…read more Highlights: - Dark rose champagne: enjoyed this as it was in between a typical light pink rose and a dark red one. More subtly complex and interesting. - Good amount of options to choose from - Seating area in courtyard with cobblestone and small tables was pleasant Lowlights: - Bit crowded inside to get your glass and lady didn't say much Was cool to visit a winery I'm not familiar with and try their offerings.

Very thorough and interesting wine list especially for champagne as you'd expect. Lots of Classic French fare. There was a tasty but large foie gras pate. There was a huge plate of smoked salmon. There were like a zillion large scallops on my entree. The cheese course was ridiculously large after all of this. For dessert we had a nice dessert sampler. Everything was delicious (mint chocolate chip ice cream!) and it was oddly a nice size. The food was very good. Staff was friendly with our lack of French. But, my good portions were big.

Amazing!!! All I can…read moresay. That's it! Well not quite but that about sums it up. Arranged for a visit and a tasting over the internet. Drove up a few minutes late but ok. One of the owners Phillippe have met us at the door and stated pouring from there most basic every day champagnes to the Grand Crus to the special productions of 4 Nuits, which if I have to classify it is actually Red rather than Rose, but still amazing. The Champagnes unlike other producer Roger Brun indicates the grape breakdown in the champagne so if you are like me and acidity of Chardonnay is actually not a good fit you can select productions with no Chardonnay (like Blanc de Noir) or with less Chardonnay, so you taste more fruity/flowery notes of Pinot Meunier or Pinot Noir. Overall amazing experience just don't forget to eat something before the visit because the tasting will give you a health helping of various champagnes!

The champagne is of very high quality, it's good champagne. It wasn't really my taste; the champagne is very 'fruity' (mind you, not sweet!) and to me it tasted too much like fruit. Almost towards a cider. My family & friends seem to like a lot so perhaps it was more my taste haha. All champagnes are named after the women in the family; e.g "Marion" en "Emilie" are the daughters and the one I liked best, was the "Cuvée Rosella" (€14 per bottle). Recommend!

We even found out we would be at the same Eras Tour show (!!!) + Tastings are $30 which is an amazing deal for what you get + Tasting room is very cute + Lovely champagne! I mean but of course, we are in France after all :) I luckily was able to get a last minute reservation here, but would recommend booking a few days out if possible given how small the champagne house is compared to others. Enjoy and cheers!

I would give it 4.5 stars. Not quite 5 but not exactly 4…read more Decided to visit on short notice this champagne house in Epernay just because we saw it on the street as we were driving by. Given the experience with some of them I was not expecting anyone to be there to welcome us but I was wrong. We actually had to call to find out if anyone would be able to give us a tour and were told that it would be possible but only at 5:30 or later since one of the owners and general manager (I guess that would be the appropriate title) was not available until that time. This worked just fine for us since we had another appointment that was running until that time anyway. At around 5:30 we have come to the house and met with Mr Jacquinot who gave us a personal tour of this boutique producer of champagne. This champagne house is very young by comparison with some of the other big boys in Epernay of only about 60 years old or 4 generations of Jacquinot family making champagne. He gave us a tour of his operation, which is small and still uses some of the old technologies for maturation and fermentation which makes this fairly unique from some of the others we've seen but it was exciting. We went to the cellar which was one of the deepest in the area 19m below street level 109 steps, it was damp and still had clay floors so water made it slippery but what we saw there was very interesting. Some of the old vintages like 1973, 1953, 1949 still in existence and Jean-Manuel told me that he still sells some of the old vintages for those that order them while supplies last. After that we went to the tasting room and I have to say his philosophy of best grapes makes best champagne pays off.
