While running around the foothills of champagne, we were having some difficulty in finding champagne places that were actually open. So we finally stopped, and I ran up to a guy that was watering some geraniums to ask if he knew of any places that were open.
Turns out he owns a place a few meters away, so after he finished up his watering (no hurry), we went inside and tasted some champagne. The blancs de blancs was awesome, and the dark chocolate with the eau de champagne was killer. Granted it ended up on my shirt, because I didn't expect liquid inside - but it was awesome. The Eau de Champagne - think, 80 proof alcohol distilled from champagne - wasn't too bad either.
