WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Bunan Blanc de Blancs is produced using the traditional method, a technique common for high-quality sparkling wines. The Chardonnay grapes undergo primary fermentation, likely in stainless steel to maintain freshness. The wine then undergoes a secondary fermentation in the bottle, which is essential for developing its characteristic effervescence and fine bubbles. Aging on lees, a common practice in this method, contributes to the wine's complexity and texture. The winemaking approach at Domaines Bunan is guided by a philosophy of respect for the land and a passion for expressing the unique terroir of Provence, with a strong emphasis on sustainable and organic viticulture.
