Cooperative Champagnes (CM)
CM stands for Coopérative-Manipulant which is a collection of smaller land owners in Champagne who collaborate in order to supply enough volume of grapes to produce a wine. An example of a CM or Coopérative-Manipulant is Champagne Le Mesnil. Sometimes they are grouped in the 'Grower Category' as they own land and then use the grapes from their own land however, by clear definition, they are not.
