The tasting room is fairly small but includes a couple of outdoor tables that provide a peak into their barrel house which was an added plus. Our group decided to each do a tasting and share sips in order to try the most number of champagnes. Tasting includes two heavy pours for roughly 30€ per person (slightly more or less based on your selections). We really enjoyed the Paradis, a 2016 vintage, and the brut. One nice touch that this champagne house does is to provide a paper ring around the base of each champagne glass in order to tell which type of champagne is in each glass. This is helpful for larger groups which are sharing a number of glasses. Our group had visited a few champagne houses before this and sometimes had trouble keeping track of our glasses. The woman working in the tasting room was very friendly and definitely offered heavy pours. Overall, a smaller house but still a big experience. Check them out!

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!!

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!

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.
