Champagne has seen some changes over the last several decades. The Grower movement brought a new vigor and life to the region, emphasizing site location, technique, and character. But we haven't thrown out the baby with the bathwater, as the négociant Grandes Marques (such as Möet, Taittinger, and Roederer) have continued to do what they do best: produce consistent, wonderful sparklers year-over-year. So whether you want to nerd out with Egly-Ouriet or live the high life Krug, let's raise a toast to the most festive region in all of winedom.
