| Inside the cellars at Mumm Champagne House in Reims - they have 25 kilometres of cellars |
 |
| The champagne is cellared anywhere between 3-10 years (depending on the quality) before being disgorged and ready for sale |
 |
| Outside the entrance to the cellar door |
 |
| The best bit - having a taste! |
 |
| The beautiful gothic Reims Cathedral, where kings of France have been crowned throughout history |
 |
| One of the beautiful stained glass windows of the cathedral |
 |
| On the streets of Reims, which was a gorgeous little 'city' |
 |
| Champagne vineyards between Reims and Epernay - you can just see the village of Dom Perignon in the distance |
 |
| ...and Dom himself outside the Moet et Chandon cellars, where Dom Perignon is also made - albeit by a different cellarmaster using a very different blend to Moet et Chandon |
 |
| A very poor photo of what is referred to as des Avenue Champs Elysses - a very long corridor within the Moet et Chandon cellars. Off to the left is the grand cellar which holds vintages from 1892 to the latest vintage champagne made in 2002 |
 |
| Each individual cellar holds 90 000 bottles of champagne (within 28 kilometres of cellars) |
 |
| Having a taste! |
 |
| Outside the entrance to the cellar door |
 |
| Across the road was the former residence of the Moet family - very grand! |
