It is crafted using the traditional method, involving a second fermentation in the bottle. The wine is a blend of Aligoté, Chardonnay, and Pinot Noir grapes, drawing from Burgundy's varied soil types, including limestone, marl, and granite.

The acquisition by Les Grands Chais de France in 2015 has continued the house's commitment to traditional winemaking and respect for the land.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The production of François Martenot Crémant de Bourgogne Brut follows the traditional method. Grapes are pressed upon arrival, and the resulting base wines are fermented in stainless steel vats at 18°C. These base wines are then assembled before undergoing a second fermentation in the bottle. Post-fermentation, the wine is aged, then riddled using gyro-pallets, and disgorged. A final expedition liqueur is added before the wine is sealed. Maison François Martenot emphasizes sustainable vineyard practices, with many of their estates holding HEV 3 certification.
