Merrey-sur-Arce combines Champagne offerings with a cultural landmark in the village: the Catholic Church of Saint-Pierre-ès-Liens. The wineries’ focus ranges from winemaking expertise and cuvées to guided insights into cellars or vineyards. Champagne Lacroix-Triaulaire also offers an experience that brings together family history, the vineyard and a tasting.

Champagne: Winemaking, Cellars and Cuvées
The family winery Champagne Nicolas Van Belle is located in Merrey-sur-Arce, near Bar-sur-Seine. It welcomes visitors to introduce them to its winemaking expertise and let them taste its cuvées. The invitation combines an insight into the winery’s knowledge with a tasting. Arrange your visit in advance if you would like to include this focus in your stay.
By appointment, Champagne Lacroix-Triaulaire offers guided tours of its cellar and/or vineyards. The winery also offers an experience that combines family history with the vineyard and a Champagne tasting. You can therefore choose between a tour focused on the cellar or vineyards and an experience that includes the family history. The producer also offers Champagne tastings; arrange the time in advance, as schedules may change.
The family behind Champagne Lacroix-Triaulaire has historic ties to winemaking in Merrey-sur-Arce and preserves expertise passed down by its ancestors. The winery manages the entire production process—from growing the grapes and vinification to selling the bottles. For those interested in family tradition and production, this offers a connected perspective on the business: its history is linked to winemaking, while the stages described cover the process from growing the grapes to selling the bottles.
For its cuvées, Champagne Lacroix-Triaulaire offers blends and single-varietal wines that showcase the diversity of grape varieties and terroirs. This distinction gives you a concrete starting point for exploring Champagne: you can be interested in blends or in individual grape varieties.

Church of Saint-Pierre-ès-Liens
The Catholic Church of Saint-Pierre-ès-Liens is a religious building in Merrey-sur-Arce. Its address is 11 Rue de l'Église. This provides a different kind of local landmark alongside the wineries: it is a religious building, not a place associated with winemaking or Champagne. The precise address helps you locate the church in Merrey-sur-Arce and consider it alongside the wineries when choosing what interests you.
Arrange Visits for Your Stay
When planning your visits, it is important not to assume that all the offerings are organized in the same way. For Champagne Nicolas Van Belle, you should confirm visit arrangements in advance; guided tours at Champagne Lacroix-Triaulaire are by appointment. It is also advisable to arrange the time in advance for Champagne tastings at Lacroix-Triaulaire, as schedules may change. This lets you plan your stay around your preferred topic and schedule each type of visit accordingly.
Merrey-sur-Arce thus offers several distinct options: an introduction to winemaking expertise and cuvées, cellar or vineyard tours, an experience shaped by family history, and the Church of Saint-Pierre-ès-Liens. If you are looking for a hotel for a stay in the village, you can use these themes to guide your travel planning and choose dates that work with the visits you have arranged in advance.
