Bartender / wine seller was very knowledgeable and I got a number of burning questions answered - I had been on 2 cave tours by this point and had lots to talk about. I was fortunate enough to be seated next to a winemaker from Australia on a pilgrimage, who was generous with his opinions, knowledge, and open bottles of champagne! After having tried a house sampler of champagnes, and after sharing a few bottles, I picked up a few bottles to take home at shop prices. Got my favorite bottle for only 16 Euro, I'm sure it would be $40 in my home, Seattle. Note the shop prices bit - drinking at this bar, I was charged wine shop prices, not bar prices. I drank onsite and took home bottles, and it was a huge bargain, probably the only time I could make that claim visiting France!

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.
