Moët & Chandon
This prestigious maison offers frequent one-hour tours that are among the region's most impressive. At the shop you can pick up a jeroboam (3L bottle) of super-premium Dom Pérignon millésime (vintage Champagne) of 1998 for just €2100.

Mercier
France's most popular brand has thrived on unabashed self-promotion since it was founded in 1847 by Eugène Mercier, a trailblazer in the field of eye-catching publicity stunts and the virtual creator of the cellar tour. Everything here is flashy, including the 160,000L barrel that took two decades to build (for the Universal Exposition of 1889), the lift that transports you 30m underground and the laser-guided touring train.

De Castellane
The 45-minute tours, in French and English, take in an informative bubbly museum dedicated to elucidating the méthode champenoise and its diverse technologies. The reward for climbing the 237 steps up the 66m-high tower (built 1905) is a fine panoramic view.
