RAW Champagne

In Epernay lies the richest of histories beneath nineteenth century Renaissance mansions
on Avenue de Champagne, a stately road lined with houses of champagne
where out of chalk over sixty miles of cellars have been carved.
 In a cold, dark cave hundreds of feet underground lies a light that leads to you.



The beauty of Champagne is in its sparkling white wine 
made from the grapes grown in the region northeast of France,
with names such as Chardonney, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier.



Ones relationship with Champagne starts with the sense of sight 
as the eyes gaze at its bubbles and color. 
Then the nose is treated to a multitude of aromas from that of floral to plant. 
And lastly is the taste on ones mouth of all the flavours Champagne has to offer.


It's rolling hills once ruled by the counts of Champagne, 
now is where coquelicot wild flowers roam and grape vineyards flourish.


Reminiscing Champagne
It's region. It's sparkle.
