WINE MAKING PROCESS
This Crémant de Bordeaux Rosé Brut is produced using the traditional method, also known as 'méthode champenoise'. Following primary fermentation, the wine undergoes a secondary fermentation in the bottle, which creates its characteristic bubbles. It is then aged horizontally on laths for at least 12 months. The grapes, Merlot and Cabernet Franc, are sourced from a 1-hectare vineyard. The producer, Vignobles Bayle-Carreau, holds Haute Valeur Environnementale (HVE) and Terra Vitis certifications, indicating a commitment to sustainable viticulture and environmental practices.
