WINE MAKING PROCESS
Coquillette Carte d'Or is produced using traditional Champagne methods with a focus on organic viticulture. Grapes are slowly pressed before fermentation, which occurs in stainless steel tanks. Malolactic fermentation is also part of the process. The wine undergoes aging in stainless steel vats, with potential aging in secondhand barrels and in bottle under crown cap. The producer emphasizes organic farming practices, including vineyard ploughing and the use of bark cover to manage soil health and prevent erosion.
