The Cavas

We went and visited the champagne caves or cavas.  I learned lots about reserved vs. vintage years, champagne making, and the monks building caves.

This is the vineyard we toured...

Huge bottles of champagne that are aged in the caves and hand turned...

A sign deep in the caves.  I love the handwriting...

John and I in the caves... The temperature was cool and the white clay walls were wet.

Another sign found in the caves... It is still ran by the Taittinget family.  The daughter is on the marketing posters.
