WINE MAKING PROCESS
Albert Lebrun Premier Cru Brut is produced using the Traditional Method, involving a secondary fermentation in the bottle to create its effervescence. The blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier grapes is aged on its lees, a process that contributes to the wine's texture and aromatic complexity. Grapes are hand-harvested from Premier Cru vineyards in the Champagne region. The winemaking philosophy of the Rapeneau family, who own the house, centers on tradition, nature, and sustainability.
