WINE MAKING PROCESS
Champagne Comtesse De Neples Brut is produced using the traditional method, involving a second fermentation in the bottle. Grapes are hand-harvested at optimal ripeness. Primary fermentation occurs in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, with partial malolactic fermentation to preserve acidity. The wine is then aged on its lees for a minimum of 28 months, a process that contributes significantly to its complexity. The cooperative, Chassenay d'Arce, emphasizes sustainable practices in its vineyards.
