WINE MAKING PROCESS
Rémi Leroy Rosé Brut Champagne is produced using a blend of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Meunier grapes. Fermentation takes place in both stainless steel tanks and oak barrels, with malolactic fermentation typically occurring. The wine is aged on fine lees for an extended period, often exceeding 24 months, contributing to its complexity. The producer emphasizes low yields and organic farming practices, aiming to capture the essence of the Côte des Bar terroir. Careful vineyard management, including winter pruning and controlled grassing, is integral to the process.
