WINE MAKING PROCESS
Louis Bouillot Crémant de Bourgogne Brut is produced using the traditional method, also known as 'méthode traditionnelle' or 'vieille méthode champenoise'. This involves a primary fermentation in stainless steel tanks, followed by a secondary fermentation directly in the bottle. Grapes are hand-harvested from selected plots. The wine is then aged, with longer aging periods contributing to increased complexity. Louis Bouillot emphasizes environmentally conscious viticulture and a respect for Burgundy's winemaking traditions.
