Grand Cru Pinot Noir Villages

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.

Insider Tips

  • Bouzy Rouge is still (non-sparkling) red wine from Champagne - rare treat

  • Egly-Ouriet in Ambonnay makes cult Champagnes (reservations essential)

  • The Phare de Verzenay lighthouse has a wine museum with views

  • Grower Champagnes here are exceptional and better value than big houses
