Trélou-Sur-Marne: Champagne, Vineyards and Saint-Médard Church

Trélou-Sur-Marne brings together Champagne experiences and a historic connection to Saint-Médard Church. It is also home to the “La pétillante demoiselle” route, which climbs through vineyards and offers views of the Marne’s meanders. When choosing a hotel, it may help to first decide what you want to focus on during your stay: are you especially interested in Champagne production and tastings, a drive through the vineyards, or the church and the route? These experiences differ both in what they offer and in their practical arrangements.

Saint-Médard Church and the Vineyard Route

Saint-Médard Church was built between the 11th and 13th centuries. Its west portal is associated with its designation as a historic monument. The construction period and the portal therefore provide two specific points of interest for a visit: the church is a historic site, and the portal is explicitly connected with its designation. Access to the church interior may vary, so do not assume that an indoor visit will be possible.

The church is near the “La pétillante demoiselle” route. The route climbs through the vineyards and offers views of the Marne’s meanders. These are two distinct points of interest to consider when planning: the church showcases a historic building, while the route takes you through the vineyards and offers views of the river’s loops. The church’s proximity to the route makes it an additional point of reference, but it does not mean that a visit to the church interior is part of the route.

Champagne: Cellars, Tastings and Vineyards

At Champagne Fleury-Gille, tours of a traditional press and the Champagne cellars are offered. The producer also explains how Champagne is made and offers a tasting of two cuvées hosted by the producers. This combines tours and insights into the production process with a tasting featuring a clearly specified number of cuvées. Visitors interested in the journey from production to finished Champagne will find several relevant topics here.

Champagne Couvent-Lémery offers a visit to the estate followed by a complimentary tasting. Visits are preferably by appointment. Arrange your visit in advance, as the arrangements may change. This lets you plan the visit in advance rather than trying to arrange your preferred option on arrival.

At Champagne Philippe Mallet, you can take a 4×4 drive through the vineyards. Parcel-specific tastings are also offered at the foot of the vineyards, featuring Champagne made from Pinot Meunier, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Reservations may be required for the drive and the tastings. The three grape varieties give the tasting a specific focus, while the drive offers a trip through the vineyards.

Champagne Veuve Olivier et Fils offers private tastings in a reception room with panoramic views over the Marne Valley. The focus here is on the personal nature of the tasting and the view. Compared with tastings at the foot of the vineyards, the setting is quite different: you can choose between a vineyard landscape and a reception room overlooking the valley.

When planning your trip, it is also helpful to compare a drive with a tasting: the 4×4 drive goes through the vineyards, while the parcel-specific tasting takes place at the foot of the vineyards. Cellar tours, an estate visit and tasting rooms offer different experiences. If you are looking for a hotel in Trélou-Sur-Marne, you can compare these options with the focus of your stay and choose the experiences that suit your interests.
