WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Blanc de Blancs Cuvée Carl-Otto Brut is produced using the 'méthode traditionnelle,' the classic technique for sparkling wine production. This involves a first fermentation followed by a second fermentation in the bottle, where the wine develops its effervescence and gains complexity from aging on its lees. Veuve Ambal employs sustainable vineyard management practices across its Burgundy estates, aiming to produce wines that reflect their terroirs.
