Wine and their makers

There is no point in avoiding wine while in France.



(Champagne making tools: champagne museum of Launois)

Champagne Launois Père et Fils: A museum that covers all things champagne - land, vine, production methods, history, labels, corks, bottle making, and whatever else you can think of.

Champagne Marguet Bonnerave: Benoit, the winemaker, is experimenting with bio-dynamic farming methods.

Champagne Voirin-Jumel: Ages some of the champagne in oak barrels for six months to extract the vanilla flavor.

Pol Roger: the 1996 Reserve Brut has a Zen-like effortless modesty - part of the review on La Briqueterie.

Domaine du Vieux-Telegraphe: of scions, school hours, and fine wine.
