Champagne Balincourt

An exceptional heritage site that is part of the UNESCO World Heritage

Discover 2,000 years of history!

Nearly 30 meters underground, uncover the fascinating history of the Crayères Chalonnaises, from the Gallo-Roman era to today, and learn all about the Champagne production process.

For optimal aging, the estate houses a true treasure—a subterranean cathedral. This ancient chalk quarry, originally used in the Middle Ages to supply stone for constructing houses and churches, lies nearly 30 meters underground. These majestic Gallo-Roman chalk quarries, part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site "Côteaux, Maisons et Caves de Champagne," have been used since 1804 for Champagne production and aging.

Today, the galleries, with a storage capacity of 2 million bottles, serve as cellars for Balincourt's finest wines. The Champagne is stored in darkness at a constant temperature (10°C) and humidity, ensuring perfect maturation.

Produced in strict adherence to the traditions of the finest Champagnes, Champagne Balincourt stands out for its exquisite, complex aromas, fine bubbles, and delicate finish.

Today, Champagne Balincourt is proudly owned by the Meyblum family.
