WINE MAKING PROCESS
Champagne Mandois Brut Origine is crafted through a meticulous blending process, combining Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier from various crus. The wine is a non-vintage Brut, meaning it is a blend of wines from three consecutive years to ensure consistency of style and quality. Reserve wines are a key component in achieving this balance. Following primary fermentation, the wine undergoes a secondary fermentation in the bottle, a process essential for creating its characteristic sparkle. It is then aged for a minimum of three years on its lees, a critical step that develops complexity, fine bubbles, and the wine's signature toasty and brioche notes. The producer also emphasizes sustainable and organic viticulture across a significant portion of their estate.
