WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Cremant de Bourgogne Cuvée Carl-Otto is produced using the traditional method, also known as the Méthode Champenoise or Classic Method. This involves a second fermentation that occurs directly within each bottle, a crucial step for developing the wine's effervescence and complexity. Grapes are handled with care through soft pressing. Following the secondary fermentation, the wine is aged on its lees for a period of 12 to 18 months. This aging process allows for the development of nuanced flavors and a refined texture. Veuve Ambal utilizes sustainable farming practices, including HVE3 certification, across its vineyards.
