520 — Wine shop in Épernay
Every Saturday morning from 10.30 to 13.00, Le 520 holds a free tasting: a vigneron or a representative of a big house personally presents their champagnes. A perfect way to discover new producers and buy straight away. The schedule is on the website. The staff guide you through the selection and give honest, passionate advice, without any sales pressure. 650 cuvées from more than 180 houses and growers, from big allocations (Grand Cru, tête de cuvée) to rare small producers such as Etienne Calsac, Mouzon-Leroux, Eric Rodez, Dehours et fils, Marguet, Ruppert-Leroy and Barrat-Masson. Also Coteaux Champenois, Ratafia and a selection of French wines. The selection is arranged by terroir: Montagne de Reims, Vallée de la Marne, Côte des Blancs and Côte des Bar. Fair prices for the quality.
