WINE MAKING PROCESS
Didier Rothier Brut Tradition Premier Cru is produced using traditional Champagne methods. A significant portion, 42%, of the blend consists of reserve wines from previous vintages (2015-2019), contributing to the wine's complexity. The wine undergoes an extended aging period of four years on its lees, a process that develops its characteristic aromas and texture. The grapes are sourced from Premier Cru vineyards in Villers-Marmery and Vertus.
