WINE MAKING PROCESS
Champagne Canard-Duchêne's P.181 Extra Brut is produced using grapes from organically certified vineyards. The winemaking process includes a first fermentation for Chardonnay in oak barrels, which adds complexity. Reserve wines, typically making up 20-30% of the blend, are incorporated to ensure consistency and depth. The wine then undergoes a minimum of three years of aging in the cellar before release. The Extra Brut dosage, with less than 4 g/l of residual sugar, is a key technical choice to emphasize the wine's purity and aromatic profile.
