WINE MAKING PROCESS
Comte Hugues de La Bourdonnaye Blanc de Blancs Brut Nature is produced using 100% Chardonnay grapes from the Champagne region. The winemaking process involves vinification of the Chardonnay, likely followed by primary fermentation. A significant aspect of its production is the extended aging period of approximately seven years on lees, which develops complexity and texture. The wine is finished with a Brut Nature dosage, meaning very little to no sugar is added, emphasizing the natural character of the wine. As a Non-Vintage Champagne, it is a blend of wines from multiple harvest years, with components from vintages like 2009 and 2010 contributing to its final profile.
