Historic French exterior with a large paved courtyard opening onto Avenue de Champagne, modern reception area and underground tasting room
Commercial
Reception area is modern and so is the tasting area, but the amazing history of the maison and the 28km of cellars in between are very historical and interesting

Moet & Chandon is home to the largest cellars in Champagne and the tour was very interesting and informative. Just be careful to listen extremely carefully for your tour start as they run through them very quickly (we missed the start of ours!!)
