We’re excited to bring you the next installment of our Back to the Basics series. Next up: Champagne—where centuries of craftsmanship, precise terroirs, and legendary maisons converge to create the world’s most iconic sparkling wines.
Grower Producers or Recoltant-Manipulant in French, is a type of Champagne from a single winemaker. They exclusively use grapes from these plots, showcasing diverse expressions influenced by varying conditions. Rather than pursuing consistent flavor profiles, they focus on crafting characterful wines that mirror each vintage.
Grand Marque typically owns a few vineyards and relies on sourcing fruit from various regional growers. Their extensive reserve wine collection, stemming from their long winemaking tradition, allows them to create a consistently reliable house style.
Which Should You Choose? If you love the timeless elegance and reliability of a house style, a Grande Marque is an excellent choice. But if you’re looking for something more unique, something that speaks directly of a single vineyard and vintage, Grower Champagne is a thrilling discovery.
Stay tuned for the next installment in our Back to the Basics series, where we’ll explore more of the world’s greatest wine regions.
