WINE MAKING PROCESS
R. Dumont & Fils employs whole berry vinification at low temperatures to foster a soft elegance and preserve aromatic intensity. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled tanks. The Brut Tradition is typically a blend of several vintages, aged for at least 24 months on lees, with a further 3-4 months post-disgorgement. The estate is also transitioning towards organic and biodynamic farming practices.
