WINE MAKING PROCESS
This Champagne is produced using the traditional method, involving a secondary fermentation in the bottle to create its effervescence. The grapes, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, are likely fermented separately before blending. Following the secondary fermentation, the wine undergoes aging on its lees, a process that contributes to its texture and flavor profile. The specific duration of aging on lees and in the cellar is a key factor in developing the wine's character. The 2012 vintage indicates a specific year of harvest and production, with conditions noted as favorable.
