What is Grower Champagne?

Grower Champagne refers to Champagne crafted by the farmer cultivating the grapes used in the production.

Grower Champagne is also known by various names. As it is wine produced by farmers, it is often affectionately called "Farmer Fizz." Additionally, it may be referred to as "RM" Champagne. This designation stems from the initials "RM" typically found on the label, standing for "Recoltant-Manipulant," translating to "Grower-Maker" in French (or "harvester-manipulator" for a more literal interpretation).
