The Pride Of France: The Vineyards
According to the saying there are as many cheeses as wines and as many wines as vineyards. So one can easily understand the choice of wines is really tremendous! Every person who makes wine brings something particular, that?s why each kind of wine is original and unique. Every detail is important during the process of winemaking. That?s what is important in the first place: the choice of terroir; the climat (the date of harvest); the choice of grape-variety (it?s determinant); the type of container in which the fermentation will take place; the temperature at which the juice of grape is maintained during the process of fermentation; the fermentation period; the type of container in which the maturation will take place. Although there are general rules which all the wine producers always stick to, every maker has his own secrets that are passed on from generation to generation. They ensure a great diversity of existing wines. Let?s travel to one of the wine provinces. To Champagne for instance, as these tours are among the most popular with the tourists. Going on this trip you?ll give pleasure to your body and soul, taste good wines, try exquisite food and update your knowledge of the French culture. You?ll have a chance to visit the best wine houses like Veuve Clicquot, Ruinart or Moet et Chandon, to see huge cellars, meet with the winemakers, get an insight at the process of making Champagne and admire the Montagne de Reims and its Pinot Noir-based Champagnes or C?te des Blancs and its elegant Grand Cru Chardonnays. Many discoveries are awaiting you! First of all visit Hautvillers Abbey where Dom Perignon was the cellarmaster (and which contains his tomb), or the spectacular Reims Cathedral where the Kings of France were crowned for over a millennium. After the long walks excite the appetite of a wolf go to one of the numerous restaurants and give a real treat to your body. Try the dishes expertly matched with the finest Champagnes. If you want to stay in the province longer than for one day (and you?ll probably want to do it!) choose from accommodations in Relais & Chateau hotels or chateaux. Many of them have fabulous views at the vineyards so you?ll certainly enjoy living in them!
