Latest Reims hotel reviews
Helpfulness
Reims is next to Epernay the main town of Champagne production and so there can be found also some shops there which sell them.
What to buy:
Watch out for such names as Heidsieck, Pommery, Veuve Cliquot, Moet & Chandon, Krug, Bollinger ..........
What to pay:
Good Champagnes are expensive. In normal cases they start with € 15,-- and can go up til € 70,--. It depends on the names you want to buy. But it is a nice souvenir and your dear at home will love you for it, when they like to drink a glass of champagne .....

About every champagne house has tours which always end with a nice tasting! If you go to the less well-known houses, the tour can be free if an appointment is made.
Well known champagne houses are:
Louis Roederer
MUMM
Piper-Heidsieck
Taittinger
Pommery
Larent-Perrier
Veuve-Clocqout
Lanson
Maxim's
Ruinart
Canard-Duchêne
What to buy: I like champagne brut (dry) best. But some like demi-sec (sweet) champagne better.
Personally I never buy champagne. Why?
Champagne is made of the chardonnay grape in a process called méthode champenoise. Only wine made according to this proces IN the Champagne region is allowed to be called Champagne.
But other regions such as Bourgogne and Alsace also make wine according to the exact same process and from the same Chardonnay grape (in Bourgogne) or other grape varieties (such as pinot noir). These wines, called crémants, are much cheaper and just as good!
The village Ëpernay is the epicentre of the Champagne region.
What to pay: Too much in my honest opinion.

For generations, the same family has overseen this shop, where you can sample Chaource, Langres and Pierre-Robert, as well as other appetizing cheeses.

What to buy: One of my favorite mustard in the world is from Meaux. Comes in a big corked clay pot sealed with red wax.
Not the yellow stuff, the nice whole grain, wine vinegar, herbs and spices.
