Geography

Trépail is located in the slope of the Montagne de Reims. The direction has changed from south-facing to more east-facing. The stream Ruisseau de Trépail runs through the village, and empties into the Aisne-Marne canal at Vaudemange.

The Trépail commune covers a surface of over 2,000 acres and counts 443 inhabitants (as of 2007), referred to as Trépaillots and Trépaillotes. [3]

History

Vineyards

Trépail is most famously known for its vast vineyards. The vineyards in Trépail are dominated by Chardonnay. Trépail shares the Chardonnay dominance with three of its neighbouring villages: Vaudemagne and Billy-le-Grand just below the slope, and Villers-Marmery, located to the north/northeast along the slope. This area is sometimes called the Perle blanche, and Trépail is probably the most well-known village of the area. The current vineyard surface in the Trépail commune is just under 700 acres. As of 2013, it is made up of about 90% Chardonnay and 10% Pinot Noir (9.5%).
