OOOH HEAVEN IS A PLACE ON EARTH…read more When I saw a photo of the interior of this bar/tasting room, I knew we HAD to make a stop here. I'm so glad we did. At Tresors, you can taste what seems like a million varieties of bubbly - all from smaller, local producers. This is the stuff you can't buy at home, people. In addition to having an incredible amount of product, the space here is incredibly designed and simply gorgeous. I don't want to give away all the fun, but you have to see if for yourself! We enjoyed our tasting, and had a great time visiting with the staff here. We happened to be the only people in the shop at the time, and it definitely felt special. And of course, the champagnes were all unique and delicious. A must-visit on any trip to Reims!

I was really interested in trying small producers that don't export. That's where Tresors comes in - it's a tasting room coop with 27 small, local wineries showcased. Can we talk about the interior? So clever! There's a giant map of Champagne on the floor and each producer is numbered - pull down their bottle from the ceiling (see my pics) to learn more. I love that each winemaker is pictured - we were given a small booklet with more detailed info on each winemaker as well. Each day there are 8-10 bottles open for tasting. You can taste by the glass (price varies) or do a flight of 3 for €20. My husband and I each did one so we shared 6 wines from a light blanc des blancs to a more intense rose maceration. My favorite ended up being a 2008 vintage - it was perfection. I can't say enough about how great our sommelier Laure (hope I spelled it right!) was! She thoroughly explained each wine and the overall process that the vintners go through. My only small sad is that they really don't ship to the US (due to state specific regulations) so plan to perhaps taste a bunch here and perhaps grab a special bottle or two. Prices varied from €20/bottle to MUCH more but I can tell you that I truly liked each wine I tasted. This shop was one of the highlights of my vacation - it was everything I was looking for. They're close to the train station so definitely do not miss them!

Their smoked salmon was fresh and brightened with lemon. It was a wonderful experienced trying the food with different champagnes. We found that the salmon tasted better with the Demi-sec and the foie gras was perfect with brut champagne. I loved the blend of three grapes to make the Champagne Brut exclusiv't. I also loved the rich flavor of the Rose. Amazing. I had a wonderful time and so did all the people leaving the bar. Even the toddler with the drunk parents.

There is a secure parking lot next to the lighthouse, but otherwise there is no real parking. If you park at the lighthouse, you will need to walk at least 20 minutes, some uphill, to arrive at the bar. The bar manager was 15 mins late, and rude when we went to check in with our reservation because we had a service animal with a valid doctor's note. He explained that it was clear on the website that no animals are allowed. We obliged because we had already paid for our reservation, and he was cutting the conversation off, saying, "I don't have the time to discuss anything further because I'm already late." Not my problem you are late to work. Also, I would like to point out that the man in charge of 'Perching Experience' had his dog running around. We were holding my small service animal, not knowing whose unleashed and non-collared dog it was, when the man rudely said, "What? Your dog can't walk?" While my partner went to take care of our dog I saw a duo who had been waiting since opening be turned away because the owner stated he could have max 10 people in the bar. In fact, we were only 7 people at the bar so there was space for them. Furthermore, the inside of the bar and the top view point of the bar were closed 'due to COVID', leaving only the outside balcony accessible. Having 1/3 of the bar closed, restrooms closed, one glass of champagne, and receiving no glass or offer of water, the price of 21 euro is absurd. With all these COVID measures, I found it funny that there was no hand sanitizer stations, and that the owner did not wear a mask. He stated he didn't need to wear one because we are outside, but at the same time he says no service animals and there is a dress code? After pouring everyone's glass, he left the bar and didn't return to check on anyone. We decided to stop wasting time at this bar, and left. The couple next to us had been sitting with empty glasses for 20 mins. We saw the owner when leaving and let him know that there were customers who might want another drink. He said, "yeah, yeah, I know. I was going to go." From one service industry folk to another, if you don't like customers, get a different job.

The champagnes were reasonable priced and a good value for the quality as compared to the more well-known and larger champagne houses. However, to get bottles home, you must be prepared to pack them in your luggage, as the shipping costs to the US are high. And while there are some distributors in the US, it will be difficult to find. The Brut Premier Cru and the Brut Blanc de Blanc were my two favorites of the champagnes I tasted. The Brut Rosé was also good if you like Rosés.

There is no menu - you eat what Jérôme has prepared and is serving on the day you visit - and everything was delicious. The very small space was packed for lunch, we felt lucky to get the last remaining table, which straddled between the dining room in front and the kitchen area in back, but we were happy to be closer to the action.
