Today, Benchmark Wine Group presents a Grower vs. Grand Marque champagne showdown.

Grower Producers or Recoltant-Manipulant in French, is a type of Champagne from a single terroir. 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 or "Great Brand" signifies not only global recognition but also an impeccable reputation and unwavering customer allegiance. They typically own a few vineyards and rely 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.    For those who have explored the world of Grower Champagne or remain devoted to Grand Marque, we offer a selection of Champagne's top-name producers.
