WINE TRIP TO CHAMPAGNE, CHABLIS & BURGUNDY
Early summer 2011 saw eight of the team from both hotels travel to France to visit Champagne, Chablis and Burgundy. Travelling by Eurostar we were ably navigated out of Paris by our driver Peter. Once out of the city we headed for Troyes and Deveaux Champagne, they produce our house champagne. The highlight of this visit was being able to taste 2 different Pinot Noir wines and a Chardonnay which will be blended together to create our champagne. It was helpful to smell and taste the different characteristics of champagne in each wine before they are blended together to create the finished product.
