L'UMC includes it in the Grande Montagne de Reims terroir; it borders the Grand Cru villages of \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/verzenay\"\u003eVerzenay\u003c\/a\u003e and Verzy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe vineyard is among the smallest of the seventeen Grand Cru: 28.3 ha for 36 winegrowers according to the UMC, with only Puisieulx having less. Pinot Noir covers 84%, Chardonnay 15%, and Meunier 1%. The plots lie between 103 and 118 metres: more than half are nearly flat, the average slope is 3.3%, and the varied aspect is mainly east-facing. According to the Comité Champagne, Pinot Noir gives the wines body and structure, along with aromas of red fruit. L'UMC notes vineyards belonging to Louis Roederer in the commune.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 956, the place was called Curtis Jusana; the Latin name Bellus Mons, “beautiful mountain”, appears in the twelfth century and refers to the gentle rise on which the village stands. In the First World War, the village was almost entirely destroyed: the church and the mairie-école are works of the Reconstruction, and the commune received the Croix de guerre in 1920. In the first échelle des crus, in 1911, Beaumont-sur-Vesle was already among the eleven cru rated 100%, and the regulations for AOC Champagne list it today among the Grand Cru communes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe wines that our map associates with Beaumont-sur-Vesle are listed below; the village’s location is shown on the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/pages\/mappa-champagne?v=beaumont-sur-vesle\"\u003eChampagne map\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"url":"https:\/\/steltwines.com\/en\/collections\/beaumont-sur-vesle.oembed","provider":"STELT - Vini Pregiati \u0026 Champagne","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
