The day unfolds between two towns — Reims, whose Gothic cathedral looms with carved saints and coronation history, and Épernay, where wide avenues give way to rows of cellars cut into chalk. In the dim cool of a Veuve Clicquot cellar the air feels purposeful: bottles rest in ricks, riddling racks angle for the next turn, and the guide marks the rhythm of méthode champenoise with precise gestures.
