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 opted for the cellar with the beautiful tower. 12 Euros per person gets you a Wonderful, informative tour of the Champagne cave (cellar) plus a view of mini museum dedicated to history of their champagne AND a tasting at the end of the tour. The tour lasted 50 minutes. Our guide showed us the vats where 100,000 L of champagne were stored, how they turn the bottles to remove the sediment and treasures of champagne bottles that were centuries old. Someone in the group asked as we walked by crates of champagne what year and type of champagne the bottles were. She replied that champagne bottles are marked by a special system that only the specialists knew. I love learning about champagne! And the tasting at the end of tour was wonderful! They gave us a sample of the Champagne de Castellane Brut. Amazing! Fresh, bubbly, flavorful. This was much better than the Moet et Chandon we were drinking in NY. I wish we ordered a couple of bottles to ship home.

One Yelp reviewer described the experience as a child's ride at Disney World, and I have to agree. Having said that though, I think this type of tour is exactly what I was looking for. I have been on "English" wine tasting tours where I only understood about half of what the tour guide was saying, which defies the whole purpose of hiring an English-speaking guide. I don't mind listening to timed audio recordings where the English has actually been vetted. The champagne tasting at the end is nice too, as the staff does not rush you to finish. Mercier brands itself as an affordable champagne, so the tour experience is what you would expect from the no-frills brand as well.

I mean I'd give it 7 stars ******* if I could, it was that awesome. If you're a wine snob maybe it's not for you. I read one review where they said it was like "the Disneyland of champagne houses" but this is the point and Mercier doesn't pretend that it's not. From the moment you walk in and see the red and the pop art you know you're in a different kind of place and I was digging it hard. The information about the history was completely and utterly fascinating. It was interesting to see how one person's vision can influence popular culture. Granted, the tour is about champagne but it also isn't. It's more about Mr. Mercier and the history of the brand, so if you want a champagne history tour it may not suit you too well.
