What is Grower Cru Champagne?
Grower Champagne is a type of sparkling wine (Champagne) that is grown, vinified, and aged by a specific grape grower and his/her family. This means that the winemaker cultivates the vineyards, harvests the fruit, and produces the wines with his/her own hands.
The category represents the farmer & the artisan, fine bubbly that better reflects a sense of place & individuality, with an emphasis on viticulture so often overlooked by the mass-produced ‘big’ brands.
In the world of big brands, with inevitably big marketing budgets, the smaller producers are often overlooked, or not even noticed at all. At Wine Menu we have always had the philosophy of seeking the wines that speak of a place, wines with integrity, where every step of the process can be traced. Therefore the idea of grower champagne fits perfectly into our ethos.
