WINE MAKING PROCESS
Thiénot Brut Blanc de Blancs is produced using the traditional method of Champagne winemaking. The primary fermentation of the 100% Chardonnay grapes typically occurs in stainless steel tanks. Following this, a second fermentation takes place in the bottle, which is crucial for developing the wine's effervescence. The wine then undergoes an aging process of approximately 4 years in the cellars, during which it rests on its lees. The dosage, the final addition of sugar and wine, is typically around 4-6 g/L, resulting in a Brut style.
