A Champagne house that offers an experience past the bottle. Champagne Richard-Fliniaux is located in the village of Aÿ. The hillsides of Aÿ in Champagne are historical and have been classified as a UNESCO World Heritage site since 2015.
James Richard-Fliniaux invited us in to enjoy a Chocolate and Champagne tasting with customised wine mats.

After tasting the divine combination of the Chocolate and his Champagne, he took us on a journey up into the vines looking over Aÿ in his Electric Car.
He drove us up into his vineyards to see the magnificent views from every direction, he then popped out a bottle of Champagne and four glasses so we could enjoy a glass of his Champagne while surrounded by the vines that the Champagne was produced from.
Enjoying a glass of Champagne with the winemaker or owner is one thing, but to then enjoy that experience in their vineyard in the beautiful village of Aÿ was an experience that should be on every Champagne lover’s bucket list.
This adventure is available to anyone, James takes real pride in his Champagnes and enjoys showing them off to people who would like to enjoy a glass in his vineyard.
