WINE MAKING PROCESS
Crémant de Loire Château de Mauny is produced using the traditional method, a process that involves a first alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel tanks followed by a second fermentation in the bottle. This secondary fermentation is crucial for developing the wine's characteristic effervescence. Following this, the wine is aged on its lees for a minimum of 12 months. This aging period allows for the development of complexity and texture. The grapes used are Chenin Blanc and Chardonnay, sourced from sustainably managed vineyards. Loire Propriétés oversees the entire production process from vine to glass.
