Iconic Tour

The girl who conducted the tour was excellent. She had great knowledge of the product and explained everything really well in English. It was interesting seeing the cellars, but in honesty that was all we saw. I would definitely not call the tour “Iconic” What would have made it iconic would have been the tour including a visit to the vineyards with explanation as to how you tend to the vines. It was harvest time too when we were there, how interesting it would have been to see that process at work. We could then have followed a cart load of harvested grapes in to the building to see the next step in the process of turning grape juice in to the most magnificent champagne. And so on, we could have followed the next steps until ending up in the cellar before sampling the perfect drink. I paid £72 for my wife and I to go on the tour but in truth I should have gone to a supermarket and bought a bottle, at least then we would have had 3 glasses each and enough money left over for a pizza. Offering a 10% discount for buying 6 bottles, I thought, was very miserly and not really much of an incentive. We spent over £150 in the shop not because of the discount but because we love the wine and it is not readily available in England. I expected and hoped for much more for the fee paid. The fact that there were only 4 people on the tour speaks volumes and must tell you that you should do better. One final thought, I did not like how a deal was made about how much an individual had spent on a ticket which determined which glass of champagne they got. Everyone should pay the same and receive the same. I will continue to drink Canard Duchene as it is the best champagne but I cannot recommend the tour as it was disappointing for the reasons as explained above. Thank you Phil P

I have always wanted to visit a champagne house. This did not disappoint!!! It was beautiful. The staff were lovely and very welcoming. Explained the process very well. And we bought some lovely champagne at the end of the tour. I will never forget this day!!

We really liked the tour of the vineyard and the caves! The tasting included two cups of Iconic label champagne, we really enjoyed the wine and tasting it in the garden. I would recommend this tour if you are experiencing the Champagne region!
