WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Boërl & Kroff Cuvée Sélectionnée Brut Rosé is produced using a distinctive three-day maceration process to achieve its color, rather than blending in red wine. Vinification occurs in stainless steel vats and is managed using gravity to preserve freshness and minimize oxygen contact. The juice is sourced from the first pressing. The wine undergoes fermentation in oak barrels and is aged on its lees for typically 2-3 years. Drappier employs low sulfite levels throughout their winemaking. The liqueurs d'expédition are aged for over a decade.
