Mercier, Champagne house on Avenue de Champagne, Épernay, France
The Mercier cellars extend through an 18-kilometer network of underground tunnels carved into chalk, maintaining constant temperatures for wine maturation.
Eugène Mercier established this champagne house in 1858, introducing innovative techniques and creating the first champagne brand marketed to middle-class consumers.
The entrance hall displays a giant wine barrel from 1889, measuring 5 meters high and requiring 24 oxen to transport it to the Paris World Exhibition.
Visitors can explore the underground galleries aboard an automated train, followed by a tasting session of different champagne varieties in dedicated rooms.
The cellar tunnels feature high ceilings specifically designed to accommodate the massive oak barrel, which remains a central element of the visitor experience.
