From Ferté sous Jouarre : MARNE,
CHAMPAGNE, ILE DE FRANCE
River
Marne....
 A
Tourist Grand Cru...!
After
departure eastbound from la Ferté sous Jouarre you will discover the Marne,
a charming river, winding between the vineyards of the Champagne, and
you will navigate towards Epernay, the cradle of the Champagne wines.
As
heirs of 3
centuries of expertise there the vine-growers follow a strict procedure :
handpicking, pruning off short and self-sacrified limitations
regarding vineyards and produce. During your inevitable visit the
tradesman will talk with pride and passion about his cuvées.
Subsequently time arrives for wine-tasting…......
