TABLE 6.4

Production Costs of Grapes in the Marne and Aube

Although the new regional appellation shifted some power back to the growers, it was less significant than in the Midi or Bordeaux. Producers of quality grapes were always going to find a market because the leading champagne houses needed to create an exclusive product, although many of these took the opportunity provided by phylloxera to integrate backward by buying diseased vineyards cheaply. The voluntary regulations followed by the Syndicat du commerce before 1911 were now extended to all producers, including those selling cheap champagne in the domestic French market. The widespread economic difficulties of growers and the legislation of 1905 provided a political opportunity to restrict the market power of those houses specializing in cheap champagne, but only the creation of cooperatives would allow them to establish some independence from the major, independent champagne houses.
