Brocante de Bouzy

Brocante de Bouzy

The Brocante de Bouzy, organized by Pascal Dorme, is a spring event in May in this exceptional wine village of Bouzy (51150), classified as a Grand Cru for Champagne. This flea market is part of the festive calendar of the Montagne de Reims, alongside other events like the Ambonnay flea market, offering treasure hunters a series of gatherings in the most renowned wine villages of the Marne.

Pascal Dorme is a professional flea market organizer well-established in the Marne region, coordinating several similar events in the department. His expertise ensures rigorous organization and effective communication, attracting quality professional exhibitors and a large crowd of bargain hunters to Bouzy. The Brocante de Bouzy benefits from the village's own reputation, which naturally draws visitors eager to discover its Champagne and its famous red wine.

The flea market is held in a typical village setting of the Montagne de Reims, with white chalk houses, underground cellars, and terraced vineyards in the background. The exhibitors' stalls offer the usual range of Champagne flea markets: country furniture, tableware and glassware, embroidered linens, old wine and agricultural tools, books and magazines, trinkets, and curiosities of all kinds. The wine-making aspect is particularly present in the local items offered.

The month of May is an ideal time to visit Bouzy: the vines are beginning to bud, nature is awakening, and the pleasant temperatures invite strolls among the vines. The flea market provides a welcome animation in the village, attracting visitors who can then explore the cellars of local producers and taste the famous Coteaux Champenois rouge from Bouzy, one of the rare still red wines produced in Champagne.

Bouzy, the village of red Champagne

Bouzy (51150) owes its fame to two things: its Champagne made from an exceptional Grand Cru Pinot Noir vineyard, and its Coteaux Champenois rouge — the "Bouzy rouge" — which is one of the most original and rarest red wines in France. Located east of the Montagne de Reims, the village offers a panoramic view of the Champagne plain and has a built heritage typical of family wine-growing in Champagne.
