Is vineyard yield restricted?

Each year, the Comité Champagne sets the maximum yield for each hectare of vines, within the limit imposed by European regulations.

Average maximum yield over the past 10 years 13,500 kg/ha.

The Champagne region has created a reserve system, managed by the Comité Champagne which allows part of the crop to be set aside in good years as a precaution against future crop failure (due to frost, hail, etc.) or exceptional demand (as in the year 2000).
