Visiting Paris,France and the Champagne district during spring of 2022 (Covid..)
It was very interesting to go by TGV train to Reims (Champagne/Ardenne) and to visit an independent champagne producer in the small village of Reilly-La-Montagne.
The owner should us all the the champagne making process, including visitng the caves and, of course, tasting different champagnes.
After walking to the small village,including a small picknick we came to the House of Daniel Durmont.
It was very interesting to see all the production steps of champagne – The Méthode Champenoise:
Le Pressoir (Pressing): How the grapes are gently pressed immediately after harvest.
L’Assemblage (Blending): The art of mixing different grape varieties and reserve wines from different years to create a consistent house style.
Le Remuage (Riddling): The process of turning bottles upside down gradually to collect yeast sediment in the neck.
Le Dégorgement (Disgorging): Freezing the neck of the bottle to eject the sediment plug before final corking.
And of course La Dégustation (The Tasting)!!!
I only wish we had brought a bigger bag.. 🤦â€â™‚ï¸
