WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Billecart-Salmon Brut Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru is produced using 100% Chardonnay grapes sourced from Grand Cru vineyards. The winemaking process emphasizes the use of only the first, highest-quality press juice. Fermentation typically takes place in stainless steel tanks, with some wine potentially fermented and aged in small oak barrels. The wine undergoes an extended aging period on its lees for four to five years in the producer's chalk cellars. The dosage is typically around 7 grams per liter.
