The village of Hautvillers is considered to be the birthplace of the Champenoise method. It was from this village and this abbey that Dom Pérignon improved and made champagne popular. The "holy man" is buried at the foot of the altar of the church of this magnificent abbey, which you can visit for free. You will find his tombstone easily. A few hundred meters further on, on the heights of the village, you will have an extraordinary view of the Marne valley and the town of Epernay.

Simply climb up from the Marne and visit the abbey and the grave of Dom Pierre Perignon. But please do it calmly and respectfully, not like the group of proletarians this morning 🙏
