The Origins of the Cru Scale in Champagne
The history of Echelles de Cru in Champagne goes back centuries. They are the result of decades of observation, tasting and experimentation, helping to define the hierarchy of wines in this prestigious region. Originally, they were used to determine prices for grapes and wines, but they have since evolved to become a mainstay of the champagne industry.
The vintage scale classifies Champagne vineyards into different levels of quality, ranging from the most prestigious to less renowned vintages. Grapes from the highest classified vintages are the most prized and are used to produce the most prestigious champagnes. This scale is the foundation of Champagne's global reputation as a leading sparkling wine producer.
Understanding Vintage Classes
The vintage scale in Champagne has several classes, each defined by strict criteria, including geographic location, terroir, climate and grape quality. The highest vintage classes are Grand Cru and Premier Cru.
- The Grand Cru is the top of the scale, bringing together the most prestigious vineyards in the region. These exceptional terroirs produce grapes of exceptional quality, which are used to create the most renowned and sought-after champagnes in the world.
- The Premier Cru is the level immediately below the Grand Cru. Vineyards classified as Premier Cru are also highly esteemed and produce grapes of high quality, although slightly below those of Grands Crus.
