We stayed in Mutigny, which is quite near Épernay. I honestly can't remember most of the vineyards, but when my shipment arrives I'll share the labels. I was traveling with someone much more knowledgeable than me and we went to smaller producers that grew their own grapes and gave a more personal tour & tasting. My favorite was Stephane, who spent most of the time lecturing us on what was wrong with Napa, and Americans in general
.
The one large house we went to was Ruinart, where we got to go down into the cellar. That was quite an experience.
