Geography

Champagne villages and crus

17 villages eligible for both the Grand Cru and Premier Cru mentions, plus 42 additional villages eligible for the Premier Cru mention under the current Champagne specification. Champagne.co lists every one, with the bottles and producers we publish for each.

Cru eligibility belongs to the commune, not to a bottle. We only show Grand Cru or Premier Cru on a Champagne when that bottle's own source says so. 15 of these communes currently have published records on Champagne.co.
