WINE MAKING PROCESS
Fruitière Vinicole d’Arbois Crémant du Jura Brut is produced using the traditional method, a process that involves a secondary fermentation in the bottle to create its sparkling character. Grapes are hand-picked and initially fermented in stainless steel tanks. Following bottling, a second fermentation occurs, after which the wine is aged on its lees for around 30 months. This extended aging period contributes to the wine's texture and complexity before it is disgorged and finalized.
