WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Crémant Rosé De Chanceny is produced using the traditional method, also known as Méthode Traditionnelle, which involves a secondary fermentation taking place directly in the bottle. This process is crucial for developing the wine's characteristic fine bubbles and complex profile. Fermentation is carried out at cool temperatures, typically around 18°C, to preserve the aromatic integrity of the Cabernet Franc and Grolleau grapes. Following the initial fermentation, the wine is aged for a minimum of 18 months on its lees. This extended aging period, conducted in the producer's tuffeau cellars, contributes to the wine's texture and develops nuanced flavors. The grapes are hand-harvested to ensure optimal quality. The cooperative's approach includes a focus on sustainable viticulture.
