Vinification
Grapes are picked by hand into perforated crates, selected in the vineyard and fed straight into the pneumatic press. The juice settles clear within hours and ferments slowly at a controlled 13°C in stainless steel. In spring the wine is bottled for the second fermentation (prise de mousse), and the bottles are stacked in underground galleries at a constant 12°C for at least 42 months before remuage and disgorgement. Limited production of 500 bottles.
