WINE MAKING PROCESS
Barton & Guestier Crémant de Bourgogne is produced using the traditional method, also known as Méthode Classique, which involves a secondary fermentation taking place directly in the bottle. This process is fundamental to creating the wine's signature bubbles and fine mousse. Following this fermentation, the wine is aged on its lees for a minimum of nine months, with this specific wine having undergone one year of lees aging. This extended contact with the yeast sediment contributes to the wine's complexity and texture. The blend of Chardonnay, Gamay, and Pinot Noir grapes is typical for the region, with the specific proportions influencing the final character of the sparkling wine.
