Mined as early as the fifth century to construct dwellings, the crayères are the epitome of the Champagne terroir. In the 18th century, the Ruinart family were the first Champagne House in Reims to establish their cellars in these chalk caves.
At a depth of approximately 40 metres, the Maison’s twenty or so Crayères occupy two levels. Their humidity, temperature and lack of light are ideal for ageing Ruinart cuvées.
Exploring the chalk-walled cellars, known as crayères, is a way to discover the Maison’s rich history. In one of the historic rooms in the Reims estate, which the Ruinart family acquired in the 19th century, your guide will explain the origins of this legendary house and reveal how it has evolved.
The tour demonstrates Maison Ruinart’s long-standing connection with art. Your visit will allow you to discover our permanent collection of contemporary art.
