France and Netherland
hangchoi:
This champagne house was built on an abbey. You can find the trace of the old abbey beneath the current building.
hangchoi:
The cellar was built at least 40m below the ground, giving a cool temperature for aging champagne. There are about 2 million bottles in this cellar where they have another cellar far away with over 20 million bottles.
Some of the bottles are doing remuage. The cellar was built by first making a well of a few meter deep, then excavate down to 60 meter. It has to be in pyramid shape for structural safety.
hangchoi:
Walked up from the cellar by spiral staircase again. How come they like this type of staircase a lot.....
After finishing hundreds steps, we reached their sale area and tasting room. You have already warmed up by the staircase and it is good time to have a glass of champagne to quench your thirsty.
hangchoi:
They have a wall showing all their distributors and I found that I know the HK's one......
hangchoi:
Saint Remi Basilica is just opposite to the Taittinger house. So we went to take a look after visiting Taittinger. It is another Romanesque Gothic abbey built in 11th century. A bit rural as you can see the old stone coffin on the plaza outside the abbey.
