The Syndicat Général des Vignerons de la Champagne (Champagne growers union or ‘SGVC’) 

The SGVC was established in 1904 to represent all of the growers and cooperatives in Champagne.
Its objectives are:

• Protection of the Champagne appellation
• Economic organisation of the Champagne winegrowing region
• Providing business support to winegrowers
• Promoting Grower Champagnes sold under the ‘Champagnes de Vignerons’ umbrella brand

 ‘Les Champagnes de Vignerons’ – the umbrella brand covering all Grower Champagnes

‘Les Champagnes de Vignerons’ was introduced in 2001 by the SGV to promote the image of Grower Champagnes. The brand represents 5000 growers and grower cooperatives, all with a common winemaking philosophy: to respect the vineyard skills that have been handed down through the generations; and to make wines that express their richly varied terroir

‘La Champagne Viticole’ trade magazine: a 100-plus years’ of authoritative reporting

‘La Champagne Viticole’ is a magazine especially for Champagne growers, established on 22 January 1909 by the Fédération des Syndicats Viticoles (federation of wine-trade unions).

Since then, ‘La Champagne Viticole’ has become the Champagne industry’s bible, which today features a rundown of the latest news from Champagne in addition to union and trade coverage.

Available on-line since February 2007.
