WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Complantée Extra Brut Grand Cru is produced by Champagne Pascal Agrapart using a 'field blend' method, where multiple grape varieties are planted and harvested together. Fermentation is carried out using indigenous yeasts, a practice that aims to enhance the expression of the terroir. A portion of the wine undergoes aging in old, 600-liter oak casks. The estate also prioritizes working with natural rhythms and avoids the use of chemical pesticides and herbicides.
