Montagne de Reims Grand Cru Villages

The "Mountain of Reims" is actually a forested plateau surrounded by Grand Cru villages. Bouzy, Ambonnay, and Verzenay produce Champagne's finest Pinot Noir. Romans recognized this terroir - north-facing slopes with perfect chalk for vines they planted 2,000 years ago.
