{"title":"Cormontreuil","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCormontreuil\u003c\/strong\u003e borders Reims, just south of the city, and is now a predominantly urban commune, known for its large shopping district. The map places it in the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/montagne-de-reims\"\u003eMontagne de Reims\u003c\/a\u003e, between \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/taissy\"\u003eTaissy\u003c\/a\u003e and Trois-Puits; the UMC assigns it to the «Reims: Vesle \u0026amp; Ardre» terroir. Its name is ancient: in 850, the polyptych of Saint-Remi Abbey recorded it as Curtis Monasteriolis, the court of the small monastery.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe vineyard survives on 5.4 ha, the smallest area among the Premier Cru communes in the UMC tables, divided among 6 winegrowers: half Chardonnay and half Pinot Noir. The plots lie on a single slope between 125 and 145 meters, with an average gradient of 11.3%, facing northwest and north for over 80% of its area. According to the Comité Champagne, Chardonnay brings freshness and floral and citrus notes; Pinot Noir brings body and structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe church of Saint-André was founded in 1159 by the abbess of Saint-Pierre-les-Dames and retains its Romanesque apse. From the late nineteenth century, Cormontreuil was a holiday destination for the people of Reims, served by the Banlieue de Reims railways; the First World War caused severe damage, the town hall was rebuilt in 1924, and the commune received the Croix de guerre in 1921. It was rated 94% on the échelle des crus, and the AOC Champagne regulations list it among the Premier Cru communes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen a Champagne from Cormontreuil enters the STELT selection, it appears below.
