If you haven’t heard of Grower Champagne, you’re in for a treat. Traditionally, Champagne is made by huge “houses” like Veuve Cliquot or Moet. Farmers grew the grapes, sold them to the houses, who then made the wine. Recently, some farmers have been making their own wine – and some of it is really good. Kind of like micro-brews in beer.
