WINE MAKING PROCESS
Charles de Fère Blanc de Blancs Brut is produced using the Traditional Method (Méthode Traditionnelle), which involves a secondary fermentation taking place within the bottle. This process is key to developing the wine's effervescence and complexity. The wine undergoes aging for a minimum of 12 months in the bottle on its lees, a practice that contributes to its texture and flavor development. The grapes, a blend of Chardonnay, Ugni Blanc, and Colombard, are sourced from various French vineyard regions, reflecting the producer's philosophy of selecting optimal cuvées to achieve a harmonious and elegant sparkling wine.
