WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Champagne Jean-Noël Haton Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Extra Brut begins with parcel-based vinification, allowing for precise management of each vineyard plot. A portion of the Chardonnay grapes are vinified in wooden barrels, contributing to the wine's structure and complexity. Following primary fermentation, the wine undergoes an extended aging period of at least 7 years on its lees. This prolonged contact with the yeast sediment is a key technique that develops the wine's character, texture, and aromatic profile. The house adheres to sustainable farming practices and holds HVE 3 certification.
