Vinification
Grapes are picked by hand into perforated crates and selected in the vineyard. After a short stay on the skins for delicate colour and aromatic finesse, they are gently pressed with careful manual programmes. 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 30 months before remuage and disgorgement. Limited production of 750 bottles.
