The official production area of Champagne comprises 35,280 hectares. And there are 357 classified municipalities: there were 319 until in 2008 there was an expansion of the production area. This classification is known as Échelle des Crus or rating system to determine the prices of grapes in the Champagne area. This law delimited the vineyard by classifying it into GRAND CRU, PREMIER CRU and CRU, depending on the viticultural history of each town and the quality of its vineyards. This gave meaning to the terroir concept since each vineyard is different and is determined by a unique profile based on soil, height, inclination and orientation.
