Hiking

Mercier is a popular champagne company, founded in 1858 by Eugène Mercier. Mercier has always used advertising designed to entice the masses to drink champagne. In 1889, Mercier presented a cask at the World's Fair in Paris that could hold 210,000 bottles of champagne. In 1900, thousands of visitors to the World's Fair, champagne glasses in hand, were allowed to float over Paris in a large balloon. At the Espace Mercier in Épernay, you can visit the giant cask and ride an electric train through part of the 18-kilometer cellars carved into the limestone cliffs.

Hiking

Mercier owns 225 hectares of vineyards in 20 crus, but also buys harvests from contract growers to supplement its own grape harvest. Some of the grapes come from the less-regarded departments of Aisne and Aube, located a considerable distance from Épernay. This allows the wine to be produced more cheaply than that of other Champagne houses. Mercier champagnes cost half or less than those of Champagne houses like Taittinger and Moët & Chandon.

Mercier sells approximately 7 million bottles of champagne annually.
