What is a 'Mono-Cru'?

Explanation:
Mono-Cru means the wine is made from grapes all coming from one cru, which in Champagne is a single village. This focuses the wine’s terroir expression to that village’s soils and climate, rather than blending grapes from multiple villages. It isn’t necessarily a single vineyard or parcel, and it isn’t a grouping of communes, which would involve multiple crus. So the term points to a single village.
