WINE MAKING PROCESS
Domaine Bourdy's Crémant du Jura is produced using the traditional method, also known as Méthode Champenoise. This involves a secondary fermentation in the bottle to create its sparkling nature. The grapes are fermented and aged, with a notable practice of utilizing old barrels, which contributes to the wine's profile without introducing overt oak characteristics. The estate adheres to biodynamic and organic farming principles in its vineyard management.
