About Maison de Castellane

Champagne De Castellane is a Champagne house founded in 1895 by Viscount Florens de Castellane, heir to a family whose origins go back to the Counts of Arles and Provence. The red Saint Andrew’s Cross displayed on the bottles was chosen by the Viscount as a tribute to Champagne’s oldest military regiment. Like Mumm’s Cordon Rouge, this cross became a symbol of luxury and celebration during the Belle Époque.

Another iconic symbol of the house is its tower, rising beside the railway line above the Art Nouveau buildings that form the heart of the estate. Standing 66 metres high, it overlooks the Champagne tradition museum, 9 kilometres of cellars and, above all, the Avenue de Champagne, home to many of the region’s historic houses.

Travellers' review - Domaine de Castellane

  • Very pleasant stay

    Superb welcome and visit to Philippe Martin! A lot of attention to our hosts and a very nice tasting with many very professional comments. The meal at MAX was also of high quality. A slight downside following the change of cellar in Epernay, as Maison MERCIER really doesn't offer the same service and interest as that advertised at CASTELLANE. But a very good stay nonetheless.

  • A relaxing and instructive stay

    Despite a change of establishment, we had a very good stay, with an instructive visit to the Castellane champagne house, an excellent dinner at Max's and a nice hotel with a very warm welcome.

  • A great memory!

    Well organized, with the kind complicity of Adeline MARTIN and Gwendoline. Very warm welcome and contact. Interesting tour of the winery and informative tasting session. Very comfortable suite and comprehensive breakfast. Very good quality meal at Bistrot 7. And a visit to Chez De Castellane provided a very timely historical perspective. A very pleasant two days, thanks to the attentiveness and availability of each of our hosts.

  • Excellent Stay

    Warm welcome, interesting tour of the estate with a very smiling and passionate person. Spacious, quiet and very pleasant room. Dinner at Le 7 restaurant very good, charming and very professional staff. Copious breakfast in the superb lounge. The visit to the Castellane estate was very instructive, with a very knowledgeable young man. A stay to be recommended without hesitation. Just great!

  • Wonderful stay

    This stay was offered to us by our husbands for a weekend getaway with their girlfriends. The best idea of 2022!!! A moment out of time, sun, champagne, walks, visits, everything was perfect. The Philippe Martin estate is superb, as is the room, and the welcome is on a par with the elegance of this residence. Very good breakfast, really nothing to say, a guest house worthy of the name with a superb terrace. The meal at Bistro 7 was good, a lot of noise in the restaurant but it was very correct and the waiter very nice. The visit to De Castellane was also very good. A little bonus before our arrival was a visit to the Avenue de Champagne and the Moet et Chandon cellars, just 5 minutes from the guesthouse. A perfect weekend, very well managed and organized by VinoTrip. To be repeated!

  • Top-notch discovery weekend

    It all started in Cumieres. The 4pm rendezvous was perfect for those of us with a long drive ahead of us. The welcome at Domaine Philippe Martin was very warm. The small suite we had was perfect for an overnight stay. The tour was comprehensive, rich in information, and very enjoyable with the dynamic person who introduced us. The tasting of different champagnes really brought home the nuances explained earlier. The setting was very pretty, clean, friendly and calm. The meal in the restaurant was good, the quantity sufficient and the dishes varied (meat, fish, even octopus!) in a tranquil setting. On the way back, we enjoyed the champagne bar and the garden by night. Breakfast was copious, with service always warm and friendly. We were also able to buy champagne on site. The tour of Castellane was very good, but it's a good thing we'd been told more about how it's made the day before, because it wasn't as precise. On the other hand, the visit to the underground cellar was impressive. The tasting of the "petite coupe" was very much appreciated, and enabled us to compare our experience with the previous day's estate (industrial vs. local quantities). Finishing around 12.30 pm gave us time to explore the surrounding area before heading home. Many thanks to the estate staff for their warm welcome and kindness. This discovery weekend was very interesting and we'll keep good memories of it! We look forward to returning!

  • 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.

  • Great weekend for two

    An unforgettable stay: - The "Soul of Champagne" workshop at Domaine J. de Telmont, perfect for opening your taste buds and discovering the subtleties of champagne, with Lucile's friendly welcome and comprehensive explanations. - The vineyard tour in the folkloric deu-deuche and in the company of Philippe Martin, who is as at ease on his hillsides as he is on the benches of the Assemblée Nationale, and who knows everything there is to know about his vines. - Overnight at Clos Saint Georges, with an excellent welcome and a succulent dinner. The property has enormous charm. - The mountain-bike tour along the banks of the Marne with Olivier Stennier, with beautiful views before and after crossing Epernay, and the visit to Philippe Benard's cellars, with many explanations and always a warm welcome. Special mention for the meal shared with Olivier and his delicious homemade quiche lorraine! - The Domaine de Castellane, a group visit in a more touristy format, where you don't learn much that's new (thanks to the explanations given on previous visits), but which is well worth a visit for the size of the cellars and the historical perspectives offered by the tour. A faultless tour, thanks to Vinotrip and the professionals who welcomed us and shared their passion with us.

  • 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.

  • Very nice stay

    - Domaine Philippe Martin and the deu-deuche ride through the vineyards, very good. - The Maison de Castellane and its huge cellars, very interesting. - The bike ride along the banks of the Marne and through the vineyards, as well as the visit to the friendly winegrower Philippe Bénard and the meal with the guide were a pleasure. - The Vieux Puits hotel in Ay is of a very high standard, with a friendly and competent manager and fine, well-prepared cuisine. My wife and I are regular cyclists, and we found that the mountain bikes provided by our guide were well maintained mechanically. All in all, a very pleasant stay! To be repeated under other skies

  • The champagnes

    For more than a century, De Castellane has blended young, fresh and light wines with fuller, more powerful reserve wines to create generous champagnes designed for celebration and pleasure. Today, the brand belongs to the Laurent-Perrier Group, one of the leading names in Champagne.

  • Champagne experiences at the estate

    Maison de Castellane welcomes visitors for a guided tour of its estate, including its emblematic panoramic tower, historic museum and cellars. The visit ends with a champagne tasting.
