What is the total number of Grand Cru and Premier Cru villages combined within these terroirs?

Explanation:
Focus on how many villages within the given terroirs carry either Grand Cru or Premier Cru status. To get the total, simply count every village in those terroirs that has one of those classifications and add them up. In this set, that tally comes to 59, so the combined number is 59. As a point of context, Champagne overall has 17 Grand Cru villages and 44 Premier Cru villages, which would total 61 if you were counting across the entire region. The value 59 reflects counting only the villages that fall within the specified terroirs.
