- Aube — Côte des Bar40 producersAube — Côte des Bar sits within Champagne, France. Grape focus: Pinot Noir. Places named here include Urville, Courteron, Buxières-sur-Arce, Polisot.
- Côte des Blancs67 producersCôte des Blancs sits within Champagne, France. Grape focus: Chardonnay. Places named here include Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Avize, Cramant, Cuis.
- Montagne de Reims101 producersThe plateau south of Reims remains the benchmark for Pinot Noir in Champagne. Grand cru villages such as Ambonnay, Bouzy and Verzenay give the region its authority, but the story is broader than power alone. The best wines combine structure with chalk tension, and the producer mix runs from famous houses in Reims to growers whose names matter village by village.
- Vallée de la Marne39 producersFor this region, the Vallée de la Marne is less about western Meunier country than about the Aÿ, Dizy, Cumières and Épernay corridor. Pinot Noir remains highly visible here, especially around Aÿ and Mareuil-sur-Aÿ, but the valley setting matters. It is the stretch where some of Champagne's most important houses sit close to growers whose reputations are much newer and smaller in scale.
