{"title":"Pargny-lès-Reims","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePargny-lès-Reims\u003c\/strong\u003e is in the western part of the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/montagne-de-reims\"\u003eMontagne de Reims\u003c\/a\u003e, 9 km southwest of Reims, between \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/jouy-les-reims\"\u003eJouy-lès-Reims\u003c\/a\u003e, Coulommes-la-Montagne and Les Mesneux. L'UMC places it in the “Reims: Vesle \u0026amp; Ardre” terroir. The name, Pargné in 1176 and “Pargneyum in Montana” in 1287, bears the suffix “lès,” indicating its proximity to Reims.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAccording to the UMC, the vineyard covers 76.9 ha farmed by 32 winegrowers, and Meunier accounts for three quarters of the vineyard: Meunier 75%, Pinot Noir 19%, Chardonnay 6%. The plots lie between 127 and 195 meters, on steep slopes (average gradient 11.5%) facing mainly east, north and northeast; the soils here tend to be marl, clay and sand. According to the Comité Champagne, Meunier adapts to more clay-rich soils, buds late and produces soft, fruity wines with notes of yellow fruit that evolve more quickly. Among the houses with vineyards in the commune, the UMC cites Moët \u0026amp; Chandon and Veuve Clicquot.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSince 1955, the village's winegrowers have shared a cooperative with those of Jouy-lès-Reims. The Church of Saint-Martin dates from the 12th century, with alterations in the 15th and 19th centuries; among the people associated with the commune is Robert d'Harcourt (1881-1965), of the Académie française. In the échelle des crus, Pargny was rated at 90%, the threshold that, under the 1952 decree, entitled it to the Premier Cru designation, now confirmed by the AOC Champagne specification.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen a Champagne from Pargny-lès-Reims is added to the STELT selection, it appears below.
