Travellers' review - Domaine Desruets

  • An unforgettable Champagne weekend!

    Superb Champagne weekend! TB welcomed us to Desruets in Hautvillers, where we were given a very detailed tour of this Champagne craftsman's facility and, above all, the comments given by the lady of the house. Tasting his champagne afterwards turned out to be a wonderful discovery, especially the champagne with no added sugar. Excellent! Then on to Ay, at Clos St Georges. A superb guest house, a magnificent setting, impeccable rooms, excellent, made-to-measure tradi cuisine using fresh produce, and a hearty breakfast the next morning. Nothing to complain about, really. Nothing but compliments. An excellent address, with the added bonus of the friendliness and warm welcome of the owners, who are also the chef. Don't miss: the great walking tour through the streets of the village and around the Deutz, Bollinger and Ayala vineyards... landscapes, vineyards as far as the eye can see, serenity and fresh air. A total change of scenery guaranteed... Sunday morning at De Castellane in Eperney. Quite a facility! Large museum-like rooms, lots of old tools + paintings on the walls explaining the work of the winegrowers. And then the tower... 237 spiral steps... Hot! But once at the top, a breathtaking view of the surrounding area. We then descend to the wine-processing rooms (the stainless steel and wooden barrel room), followed by a visit to the cellars (10 - 12 degrees ambient temperature). 6 km of cellars that connect with those of Mercier. It was they who dug the chalk and then gave up part of their cellars. De Castellane belongs to Laurent Perrier. In the cellars, 5 million bottles... A charming guide accompanies you all the way: everything is explained in great detail, plus a demonstration of what goes on in the cellars. Some parts of the cellars have been converted into a museum, with old tools, wax figures and more. Great stuff! The tour ends with a visit to the room where corks, labels and boxes are applied. The tour lasts 50 minutes, but it's so interesting that you don't even notice it's gone. You learn so much. The tour ends with a return to the reception area, followed by a glass of champagne. It's truly an exceptional trip.

  • Weekend in Champagne

    We had an excellent weekend and are delighted with your choices. Many thanks to Clémence who welcomed us at Domaine Desruets. We recommend VIEUX PUITS without hesitation. The visit to the Castellane estate was equally enjoyable.

  • WEEKEND IN CHAMPAGNE

    We were very well received at DESRUETS and they guided us very well to discover this wonderful village of HAUTVILLIERS. A very cordial and professional welcome at DE TELMONT. Then at MERCIER, we're moving upmarket in terms of company size. We personally extended VINOTRIP's program with a visit to MOET and CHANDON, imperial in terms of quality and service. and finished with a visit to DE CASTELLANE's champagne museum, having climbed the 254 steps of the tower! The accommodation at JEAN MOET's was perfect, and the evening meal at the 'grains d'argent' was well prepared. On Sunday lunchtime, we had difficulty finding the restaurant.
