WINE MAKING PROCESS
Collet Extra Brut Premier Cru is produced using grapes from 20 Premier and Grand Cru vineyards across Champagne. Each vineyard parcel (cru) is vinified separately to maintain its distinct character. Following primary fermentation, the wine undergoes secondary fermentation in the bottle to create its effervescence. It is then aged for a minimum of four years in the producer's limestone cellars. Reserve wines, constituting 20% of the final blend, are incorporated to add depth and complexity.
