“While Reims and Champagne have the honors of a permanent Louis Vuitton City Guide, the first for a French region, we have done everything possible to welcome visitors once again in accordance with health regulations. This summer, we want to help people discover, perhaps even more than usual, the French art of living and the richness of the region and the Champagne heritage. »Explains Frédéric Dufour, President of Maison Ruinart.
Here are 5 reasons to come and discover the oldest champagne house in Reims this summer:
- Penetrate, thanks to a virtual reality headset, into the heart of the chalk pits nearly 40m below the ground;
- Taste the brunch prepared by Valérie Radou, chef-in-residence, highlighting the cuvées;
- Learn with humor about the making of champagne, from the vine to the bottling, with British artist David Shrigley;
- Walk 8 km of underground galleries where the temperature remains naturally constant at 12 ° C;
- Discover Retour aux sources, the artistic installation showing the impact of global warming in Champagne.
