The Christian Etienne Champagne is a terrific example of the value that a "growers" champagne offers. The term "growers" champagne, refers to independent and generally smaller growers who no longer sell their grapes to the large houses, they make and sell their own Champagnes. Since 1990, Christian Etienne has been doing just that, handcrafting different Champagne cuvees on his nine hectacre plot in the town of Aube where the chalk and limestone soils are ideal for producing top notch Champagne. This offering, is 80% Pinot Noir and 20% Chardonnay with the classic Champagne nose, terrific body weight, elegant mousse, and long finish. Could be served as an aperitif or would pair well with a variety of foods.

No other winemaking region is as closely associated with celebration and romance. Brand-power here is also stronger than other regions, and consumers pay a premium for consistency and reliability. However a new wave of "grower" champagnes is introducing wines of distinction and character. Major varietals include Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier.
