In Champagne, Grand Cru status represents the highest classification of vineyard sites. Historically defined by the “Échelle des Crus” system, it was reserved for villages whose vineyards achieved the maximum quality rating of 100%. Today, there are 17 Grand Cru villages in Champagne. Wines labeled Grand Cru must be made exclusively from grapes grown in these classified villages. This designation reflects exceptional terroir, producing Champagnes of remarkable finesse, intensity, and aging potential.
