🥂 CHAMPAGNE INSIGHT 🥂 Champagne growers, also known as "Récoltant-Manipulant" (RM) in French, are wine producers in the #Champagne region of France who grow their own grapes and produce Champagne from those grapes. The tradition of Champagne growers dates back centuries to the early development of Champagne production in the region. While the larger Champagne houses, known as "Maisons," have historically dominated the market, the importance and influence of Champagne growers have grown significantly in recent decades. Today, many Champagne enthusiasts seek out the artisanal and terroir-driven expressions offered by these smaller-scale producers 🥂 🍾 💫 Have you already tried any of these beauties? 😍 #BespokeWineCollection
