WINE MAKING PROCESS
Champagne Chapuy Grand Cru Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs is made exclusively from 100% Chardonnay grapes. The primary fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks. Winemaking includes a partial stop of malolactic fermentation to maintain acidity. The wine is aged for 2-3 years on its lees, followed by an additional 3 to 6 months post-disgorgement. Non-vintage bottlings incorporate a significant proportion of reserve wines, typically at least 40%, to ensure consistency and add depth.
