WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Pierre Moncuit Champagne Delos Extra Brut Grand Cru is vinified from 100% Chardonnay grapes sourced from Grand Cru vineyards in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks, and malolactic fermentation is typically carried out to manage acidity. The wine is aged on its lees for an extended period, at least 36 months, to develop complexity and texture. The estate follows traditional farming practices and is moving towards HVE certification.
