Here, the lateral canal to the Marne, 67 km long from Vitry-le-François, rejoins the river. The area ranges from 66 to 210 meters. According to the UMC, vineyards cover 193.9 ha for 156 winegrowers: Meunier accounts for 51%, Chardonnay 31% and Pinot Noir 18%. Mardeuil is among the «other crus» of Champagne, with no Grand Cru or Premier Cru designation; in 1816, André Jullien placed its red wines in the fourth class.

During the winegrowers' revolt of 1911, the army camped in front of the church; the winegrowers' cooperative dates from 1956. In 1914-1918, the village lost 33 men, and in the Second World War the bridge over the Marne was destroyed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Champagne wines from Mardeuil available from STELT are listed below; the village is on the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/pages\/mappa-champagne?v=mardeuil\"\u003emap of Champagne\u003c\/a\u003e, on the outskirts of \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/epernay\"\u003eÉpernay\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"ecume-blanc-de-chardonnay-nv-075","title":"Ecume Blanc de Chardonnay NV AOC 0,75l","description":"\u003cdiv\u003eEcume Blanc de Chardonnay NV AOC 0,75l is a sparkling wine that conveys, with understated elegance, the purity of Chardonnay grapes, transformed into a fresh and refined expression, born in a setting where tradition and innovation intertwine and where Ecume embodies a working philosophy centered on the land, care, and precision: carefully selected vineyards, manual harvesting at dawn, gentle cellar practices, and controlled secondary fermentation that preserves the purity of the fruit. The producer’s story is one of family and craftsmanship: a house that has safeguarded deep roots while looking to the future, investing in sustainable practices, techniques that enhance the raw material, and discreet yet reliable communication. Ecume’s distinctive characteristics emerge in the elegant simplicity of its aroma and its fine perlage, with notes of lemon zest, pink grapefruit, a touch of green apple, and a subtle minerality reminiscent of wet stone; on the palate, it reveals a light yet present structure, vibrant freshness, savory notes that invite the next sip, and a clean finish recalling the aromas of white-fleshed fruit. The wine holds a pivotal place in the producer’s range: it is not merely an aperitif, but a key to understanding the character of the entire line, capable of accompanying convivial moments while also supporting more refined pairings, such as seafood appetizers, quality sushi, or fresh cheeses, with a discreet presence that does not overpower. Ecume Blanc de Chardonnay NV AOC is therefore a choice that invites you to discover a vocabulary of restrained elegance, a close sip that leaves room for flavor reflections and a balanced palate.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Ecume","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57234875908421,"sku":"ECU-BLADECHA-CHA-NV-075","price":75.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1000\/7376\/7237\/files\/Ecume-Blanc-de-Chardonnay-NV-AOC-075l.jpg?v=1788874939"},{"product_id":"ecume-blanc-de-chardonnay-nv-15","title":"Ecume Blanc de Chardonnay NV AOC 1,5l","description":"\u003cp\u003eÉcume’s Blanc de Chardonnay is a Champagne Brut Nature made entirely from Chardonnay, here in a one-and-a-half-liter Magnum format.

Zero dosage lets the Chardonnay and the place speak for themselves, without adjustment.
