doris visits [Music] this is the mom champagne house this is where you go it's on the opposite side this is a great press can you imagine all the smelly feet that have been in there visit us to the caves this way [Music] just a lot of goodwill and uh and courage uh so we used to buy the grapes from the local producers the most northern vineyards in france are where this wine comes from to build a nice vineyard but remember still want that friend the 17 villages around the edge here are the grand cru villages the best champagne and that's a problem and also always in front of flavor no matter how big the fireworks so by the same one since 1990 that was usually the transition kind of question 1836. they used to use these great big barrels for the wine but now since 1990 they used stainless steel and that's the thing is that champagne is really rewind we don't know previously they used these concrete bats which had the names of the villages where the wine comes from [Music] this is [Music] champagnes don't have a year on the bottle unless it's a vintage champagne and the reason is that sometimes they take some wines from one year and some wines from another year and combine them to get the correct flavor and i'm sure we all found a change of temperature haven't we that's why we keep the world on the second floor this is just 14 meters below the surface and that's enough we always have 12 or 13 degrees celsius for year long 25 kilometers of these tunnels were carved between 1850 and 1910 to rest this champagne it rests for three years to get the flavour the reason they keep turning and turning the bottle is to get the sediment to drop down into the neck and then they increase the angle and then at the end when the sediment is down here they freeze it and remove it at that point they add a little extra wine and sugar and then you get the finished product in a moment we'll switch the lights on and show you these old bottles of champagne which date back from the 1890s they keep them here eventually they lose their bubbles but they turn into delicious very valuable bottles of wine all along those 400 meters you have little cellars like that behind the gates you know little dusty head down bottles doesn't remind you what you shot [Music] [Music] mom was the first champagne house to replace wicker baskets with plastic crates [Music] [Music] [Music] it was also the first champagne house to acquire a large number of automatic bottle rinsing machines the old way of bottling and filling the filling machine was connected to the barrels enabling the bottles to be filled without losing any wine at a rate of 6000 bottles per day for each nozzle from 1925 electric semi-automatic caulking machines were [Music] george introduced did this we want to keep his spirit alive and how challenge ourselves explore new things push ourselves and who knows maybe we will be here you know the next week in the next 50 years maybe not but proud of it discovery tour you get to smell the three different flavors which are inside the champagne [Music] this is very aromatic [Music] doris visits cruise chat sites port videos ship tours come over and see us just search doris visits or find us on dorisvisits.com please like our videos and subscribe to our channel
