**Any teenager must be accompanied by an adult. An alternative to the glass of champagne is offered to teenagers and children.
At the age of just 20, Eugène Mercier founded his own House and soon began to think big. He revolutionised the world of champagne and set himself a radical challenge: to make champagne – a drink historically reserved for the elite – accessible to all without sacrificing quality. An innovator at heart, he was one of the first in the region to introduce electricity to his cellars in 1886. He was also involved in the early stages of advertising by presenting one of the first commercials created by the Lumière brothers.
Discover the House’s heritage, thirty metres beneath the chalky soil of Epernay. Board the Mercier train to travel through a section of the 18 kilometres of single-storey cellars and discover the bas-relief carvings by sculptor Gustave Navlet. Discover the thousands of bottles nestling in our maze of cellars.
*Bas-relief by Gustave Navlet referencing the visit of President Carnot to the Mercier cellars in 1891.
Return to the surface and round off your visit with a tasting session guided by our sommelier, with whom you can share your impressions. Depending on your chosen tour, discover the unique characteristics of each of our different Mercier cuvées.
Finish the experience with a visit to the Mercier Boutique.
