Beautiful Champagne

I visited the Champagne region as part of my 9 day driving trip of France.I went to Epernay and saw the stunning Mercier Champs House.It was breath taking.The tunnels under the Mercier Champagne house went on for miles and miles.Ive never seen so much drink in one place.
I done a tour of the house,then went into the tunnels on a train that drove along the vast network of tunnels and we had a guide telling us about the fasintaing history of Mercier.
After the tour,i had a chance to sample the 3 types of champagne.My favourite part ;-)
Im adding pics now and will add info shortly.
thx
