WINE MAKING PROCESS
The production of Lafalise-Froissart Cuvée 276 Brut Natur Grand Cru involves several key techniques. The grapes undergo natural alcoholic fermentation in 100% Burgundy barrels and demi-muids. Crucially, the wine does not undergo malolactic fermentation, preserving its natural acidity. Following fermentation, it ages on lees for 6 to 8 months in barrels. The wine then spends a minimum of 24 months aging in the cellars before release. It is bottled as Brut Nature, meaning no sugar is added for dosage.
