WINE MAKING PROCESS
André Legrand Brut is produced using the traditional method, a time-honored technique for creating sparkling wine. This involves a primary fermentation followed by a secondary fermentation that occurs within the bottle, generating the wine's characteristic bubbles. The wine then ages on its lees (spent yeast cells) for a minimum of one year, a process that contributes to its complexity and texture. Following disgorgement, it undergoes a further minimum of three months of bottle aging before release. As a non-vintage wine, it is a blend of wines from multiple harvest years, meticulously assembled to ensure a consistent and balanced final product.
