Culture
In Essômes-sur-Marne, the Abbatiale Saint-Ferréol is a Gothic building with a vaulted height of 22 m, a transept width of 30 m and a length of 40 m. It has 38 choir stalls carved in the Renaissance style in the 16th century, featuring symbolic representations and scenes from secular life. To arrange a guided tour of the abbey church, you can call outside the usual visiting hours.
Wine and local offerings
Champagne Michaux offers tours and tastings of its Champagne. The tour lasts more than an hour, takes visitors through the vineyards and explains all the steps the grapes go through before the Champagne is produced; this is followed by a tasting and an introduction to Champagne oenology.
Champagne Belin offers tours and tastings at the estate. The family-run estate is passed down from father to son. The Maison Jérôme Lefèvre boutique sells Jérôme Lefèvre and Delalot Champagnes, as well as spirits from Société Marnaise de Spiritueux.
Since 2019, Maison Jérôme Lefèvre's wine-growing area has been expanded with new plots at Mont de Bonneil and in Essômes-sur-Marne; these were immediately converted to organic cultivation. Maison Jérôme Lefèvre's Champagnes are presented as unique cuvées created anew each year, rather than as a recurring range.
