WINE MAKING PROCESS
Abbatiale Brut NV is produced using a blend of 50% Pinot Noir and 50% Chardonnay. Fermentation takes place in a combination of barrels, concrete, and stainless steel tanks without the addition of foreign yeasts, followed by complete malolactic fermentation. The blend incorporates wines from up to two preceding years. A significant aspect of its production is the 48 months of aging on lees in the bottle before disgorgement. The producer holds HVE (Haute Valeur Environnementale) certification.
