Chavot-Courcourt: Wine, Heritage and Panoramas

Chavot-Courcourt can be explored from several specific perspectives during a stay: Champagne producers and tastings, a Romanesque church and other traces of culture, as well as routes with views over vineyards. If you are looking for a hotel for a trip to Chavot-Courcourt, these themes can help you decide what to focus on during your stay. The visitor experiences related to wine vary in format; cultural sites and scenic routes offer further perspectives on the place.

Wine Tastings and Distinctive Winemaking

Champagne Christophe Hugot welcomes visitors in Chavot-Courcourt for tastings. He vinifies his «Cuvées de l’œuf» in egg-shaped vessels. Vinification refers to the process of making wine; the shape of the vessels is therefore a specific detail of this production method. At Hugot, you can consider a tasting as a visitor experience and the distinctive winemaking method as a separate point of interest.

Champagne André Tissier welcomes visitors by appointment to discover the estate and taste its cuvées. The appointment is part of this visit format and should therefore be taken into account when planning. The two producers have different focuses: at Hugot, the tasting is the main visitor experience, while Tissier explicitly combines discovering the estate with a tasting and an appointment-based visit.

Church, Museum and Cultural History

The Church of Saint Martin du Mont Félix is Romanesque and dates from the 12th century. Champagne Laroche Michel presents a museum of winegrowing and wine history, with antique flutes and goblets, as well as bottles from the 18th and 19th centuries. This brings together different historical references: the date of the church building and the later centuries represented by the bottles on display. The museum also offers a specific connection to the history of wine and winegrowing.

Mont Félix is also an archaeological site. In Courcourt, you can discover the painting «Le Pressurage». Those interested in more than sacred architecture will find other named cultural themes, including an archaeological site and a painting. Together with the museum and the church, these offer various starting points for exploring local history and winegrowing from different perspectives.

Panoramas, Walking Trails and Visiting Hours

The Route des Top Points de Vue – Coteaux Sud d’Epernay includes Chavot-Courcourt and offers remarkable panoramas over the Champagne vineyards; walking trails complement the route offering. The Route des Tops Points de Vue leads to the Church of Saint Martin du Mont Félix in Chavot-Courcourt, which is one of its discovery stops. This connects the specific link to the church with another way to discover Chavot-Courcourt as part of a route. You can organize your visit around your interests: vineyard panoramas and walking trails sit alongside the church, museum and visits to Champagne producers.

For Sundays from July through the end of September, the church’s listed opening hours are 10:30 am to 12:30 pm and 2:30 pm to 6 pm; these hours are subject to change. Please confirm that it is open before your visit. This lets you plan your church visit around the listed hours, while also allowing you to schedule an appointment for visits to Champagne André Tissier.
