WINE MAKING PROCESS
Collet Brut is crafted from a blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier grapes. The primary fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks. Following blending, the wine undergoes secondary fermentation in the bottle to create its characteristic effervescence. It is then aged on lees for a minimum of 36 months, often longer, in the Maison's chalk cellars. The dosage, the addition of a small amount of sugar and wine before final corking, is typically around 8 g/L, classifying it as Brut.
