l'Echelle de Crus

The Ladder of growths. The price of a kilo of grapes is set every harvest by the CIVC

Comité Interprofessionnel du Vin de Champagne


The price is scaled from 100% for the top crus, or vineyards, and down to 80% for the less important vineyards.

Grand Crus get 100% (of which there are 17)
Premier Crus get 90-99% (of which there are 40)
Villages get 80-89%
