Ville-sur-Arce is a commune in Aube in the Arce Valley, a tributary of the Seine, 6 km from Bar-sur-Seine, where the river flows into it. L'UMC places it in the Barséquanais, the western part of the Côte des Bar. It borders seven winegrowing communes: Bar-sur-Seine, Merrey-sur-Arce, Buxières-sur-Arce, Landreville, Chervey, Celles-sur-Ource and Viviers-sur-Artaut. The 16th-century church of Saint-Aubin has been listed as a historic monument since 1991.
The vineyards cover 224.3 ha (UMC) across 60 winegrowers, with one of the highest proportions of Pinot Noir in the group: 199.1 ha (89%), compared with 16.7 ha of Chardonnay (7%) and 4.9 ha of Meunier (2%), plus 3.6 ha of other grape varieties. Jurassic Coteaux over Kimmeridgian limestone, as throughout the Côte des Bar, where Pinot Noir covers 84% of the nearly 7,900 ha. Ville-sur-Arce is an «other cru»: a commune in the AOC Champagne outside the Grand Cru and Premier Cru designations, reserved by the appellation regulations for 59 communes in the Marne. In the old échelle des crus, abandoned starting with the 2004 harvest, crus in the lowest tier (in the Aube, Aisne and Marne) rose from 75 to 80% between 1971 and 1981.
