Les Molyneux is a beautifully restored former grape-grower’s farmhouse in the centre of one of the best villages in Champagne. When we say ‘one of the best villages’ we mean Grand Cru. This is the classification given by the French government to only 17 villages in the region, where the grapes grown are of the highest quality.
Les Molyneux was built in the mid 19th century, and was carefully restored in 2000 retaining many original features including exposed beams and stripped floors.

Why Champagne? The answer is obvious you may think, but wait, there’s more to Champagne than you might imagine....
The region of Champagne-Ardennes is one of France’s best kept secrets. World renowned for the famous Champagne drink, many people do not even realise that it is a region of France! And yet, it is an area of outstanding natural beauty, with breathtaking landscapes, diverse climate, and hidden gems to discover.
The main city, Reims, with its elegant shops, superb restaurants and old streets is 15 minutes drive away and thanks to the new high speed train ( TGV ) you can get from Reims to the centre of Paris in 45 minutes.
On the way to Paris you pass Eurodisney– only 1 hour from Champagne by car – and with Paris, Charles de Gaulle airport also only about 1 hour’s drive away, it’s easy to reach Champagne by air.
If you’re travelling by car it’s a very easy 3 hour drive (or less) from the Eurotunnel at Calais to your front door.
No matter when you visit, there are myriad ways to spend your time. With few tourists, you’ll discover the real France here walking or cycling among the vineyards and forests, learning the art of champagne making from those that make it, sampling the local cuisine with recipes handed down through generations, croissants made at the local boulangerie and locally grown produce.

Verzy
The village of Verzy is nestled on the slopes of the Montagne de Reims, between the ‘Faux de Verzy’ the forest of twisted beech trees, in a conservation area of natural parkland and the vineyards producing the famous pinot noir grapes for the bubbly.
With only 1000 inhabitants, Verzy is surprisingly lively, with three banks, a post office, a baker, two butchers, and a delicatessen. There’s also a grocery store, a newsagent, two hairdressers and a pharmacy.
A Delight in Every Season
Springtime in champagne is magical. After the cold clear skies of winter, the new shoots on the vines are just emerging, busting into full leaf during the 1st week of May and changing the colour of the landsape from brown to bright green. Against the blue of the spring skies this is truly beautiful. The weather is warm, the rains gentle and the promise of the forthcoming fruit is inspiring. Birds sing in the nearby trees of the forest, life begins again in its slow, rhythmic and timely manner.

Summer is hot, hot, hot, with temperatures soaring into the mid 30s, the fruit hangs heavy on the vines, ripening daily. The trimmers are out in the vineyards, keeping the leaves in check, so that the sun can ripen the grapes. Bar-b-ques abound, summer fun, warm evenings, strolling through the nearby cathedral city of Reims, or the smaller capital of Champagne, Epernay on the River Marne, dinner on the terrace, sipping champagne – what more can one want?
The promise of the harvest is hanging in the air and the champagne makers test the acidity of the grapes daily. Migrant workers set up their camps ready to start the work. Handpicked directly from the vines, the grapes are the ‘gold’ of the region. The picking window has arrived and the landscape is covered with people. The aroma of the freshly pressed wine hangs heavy in the air, and life all at once is frantic as the harvest is gathered and lovingly transformed into liquid gold. And then, all is quiet. The leaves turn orange, yellow, rust, brown under the clear blue skies of autumn. The vines gently fall asleep under the falling temperatures..
Winter and the landscape is barren, almost desolate. The temperatures drop as low as -20 in some areas, the snow falls, the fires are lit, gathering loved ones from far and near for family celebrations. There are parties to go to, more champagne to be sampled, as the vines sleep silently under winter’s blanket, ready for the awakening again of spring.
Whenever you choose to visit, you will find something special and unique to experience at Les Molyneux in Champagne.
