Champagne Alfred Gratien

Accueil agréable et explications très intéressantes et complètes. Dégustation de deux cuvées qui nous ont permis de percevoir la signature des champagnes Alfred Gratien dans un cadre calme à l'écart de l'agitation de l'avenue de Champagne. Nous recommandons cette visite.

A wonderfully personal and insightful English-language tour that brings to life a house rooted in tradition.Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and explained every stage in detail, from the work still done by hand to the parts now handled by machine. We were shown the oak barrels, learned about fermentation, and heard about the barrel-making itself and how the oak is sourced. We also learned how wine is transferred from barrel into large glass demijohns before moving further in the process. Although we didn't see production in operation, the explanations gave a clear picture of the methods used and the way tradition is upheld. What stood out was the strong sense of family history behind the house. It never felt rushed or scripted; there was plenty of time for questions and real conversation. Our group of eight was joined by just three others, who kept it intimate and relaxed. The tasting was generous and unhurried, with no pressure to buy, although champagne and accessories were available if you wished. Together, it felt authentic and welcoming, a chance to appreciate the tradition of the house as well as the wine itself.

Visite agréable et instructive suivie d'une excellente dégustation.

The wines were superb. The lady who conducted our tasting was extremely nice and knowledgable. We were there on my wife’s birthday, and a very special wine was poured for us (that was not part of our tasting package) in honor of the event. We will never forget the kindness and generosity.

We had a very nice guided tour and tasting. Our guide was knowledgeable, funny and spoke very good English. The tasting was also very good with tips, information and very good champagne.

Très belle visite ! Un guide au top qui répond à toutes les questions ! Et une dégustation très sympathique. Merci.....

Paring champagne and cheese was a unique experience. Our guide shared a lot of interesting information about champagne's and cheese's aspects and how one can enhance the each other taste. All the champagnes and cheeses served were excellent. An amazing expetience, indeed.

We throughly enjoyed our tasting at Chateau Alfred Gratien. The staff were friendly and welcoming (even with us being about 15 minutes late). We enjoyed learning about the champagne from our host. He was knowledgeable and engaging. He gave us a great quick lunch spot that worked out great. We look forward to enjoying the champagne that we brought home!!

I thoroughly enjoyed visiting this smaller champagne house. Our guide was informative and friendly and the champagne was delicious!
