Mardeuil

Champagne village in the Vallée de la Marne.

Mardeuil lies in the Marne department, on the left bank of the Marne, directly west of Épernay. The village has no cru classification.

Vineyards: meunier is the main grape here and thrives on the cooler slopes; chardonnay and pinot noir are also grown.
Character: the champagnes are round and fruity, with the suppleness of meunier.
Producers: Mardeuil is home to the Beaumont des Crayères cooperative, founded by small growers who wanted to market a single brand together. The name refers to two vineyards, Beaumont and Crayères. The house is known as a meunier specialist and also makes champagnes from meunier alone. Tanneux-Mahy and Maison Gamet, among others, are also based in the village.
