CHALK INTELLIGENCE

Champagnedata

We mapped every village in Champagne.
We know which growers farm the same belemnite chalk as Krug — and which charge a quarter of the price. Now it's an API.

LIVE API RESPONSE
GET /v1/appellations/ambonnay { "appellation": "Ambonnay", "classification": "grand_cru", "echelle": 100, "cote": "Montagne de Reims", "chalk": "Belemnite (Campanien)", "terroir_score": 8.7, "producers": ["Egly-Ouriet"], "houses_sourcing": ["Krug", "Bollinger"] }
Same village that feeds Krug. Scored and structured.
WHAT THE DATA REVEALS

Champagne is not Burgundy with bubbles.

Burgundy's intelligence is spatial — geology, proximity, slope. Champagne's intelligence is chalk. The belemnite fossils beneath Ambonnay are the same fossils beneath the grapes that become Krug.

Chalk doesn't lie

2,405 BRGM chalk overlays across 336 villages. Every village scored by what's underneath.

Boundaries that matter

30 non-Grand Cru villages border Grand Cru land. Same chalk, different échelle rating.

Five côtes, five signatures

Montagne de Reims, Côte des Blancs, Vallée de la Marne, Sézanne, Aube. Each scored within context.

The house sources

59 producers, 40 cuvées, village-level sourcing maps. Which houses buy where.

The price gap

Krug sources Ambonnay at S$400. Egly-Ouriet farms Ambonnay at S$180. The engine shows every gap.

THE DISCOVERY

The price gap is the product.

The houses source Grand Cru villages. They add blending, ageing, brand. The grower farms the same chalk — and charges a fraction.
