Why it's worth your time
One of the oldest farms in the country, now a sparkling-wine house. The night harvest (they pick by lantern for the MCC) is the story; the tasting is the experience.
What we love
The night-harvest story, and the Krone MCC at the end of it.
What to know
Founded 1712 — one of the oldest farms in the country; the estate pioneered night-harvesting by lantern for its Krone Méthode Cap Classique, made from the Pinot Noir and Chardonnay that work in Champagne.
