Champagne Bochet Lemoine — Winery in Cormoyeux

In Cormoyeux, a village of barely 200 inhabitants in a side valley of the Marne, five minutes from Hautvillers, the Bochet-Lemoine family has made champagne with a deep connection to the terroir for generations. The village sits like a natural amphitheatre: rolling slopes all around, full of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Meunier, in the middle of a protected regional nature park. You feel the calm and authenticity as soon as you drive into the lanes: this isn't the tourist circuit but the real Champagne story. A tour of the vineyard and cellar, followed by a tasting of their own champagnes in an intimate, family atmosphere. Besides the tasting there's also a gîte (holiday home) on the estate, ideal if you want to stay longer. Easy to follow with a visit to Hautvillers, with the abbey of Dom Pérignon and the Vinaigrerie d'Hautvillers.
