About the host

Heritage Crayères 1804

To ensure optimal aging, the house contains a real treasure “an underground cathedral”. This old chalk quarry, operated in medieval times, was used to supply stones for the construction of houses and churches.

These majestic Gallo-Roman chalk pits sinking nearly 30 meters underground, forming part of the hillsides, houses and champagne cellars listed as UNESCO world heritage sites, were used from 1804 for the production and aging of champagne.

The galleries (representing a storage capacity of 2 million bottles) today serve as a cellar for the best vintages signed Balincourt. They allow champagne to be stored away from light at a constant temperature (10°C) and humidity.

Made in the strict tradition of the greatest champagnes, it is distinguished by magnificent complex aromas, bubbles of great finesse and a delicate finish.
