Number of millions of bottles of Champagne a new producer—Terroirs et Vignerons de Champagne— will be able to make each year, according to the Drinks Business. The new company is a just-completed merger of two of Champagne’s largest and most successful cooperatives—Nicolas Feuillate and Castelnau. The company will source grapes from more than 6,000 growers in the Champagne region, representing nearly 9% of the entire Champagne appellation, which totals 84,000 acres.
