WINE MAKING PROCESS
Cuvée Celeste Blanc de Blancs Brut is produced using different methods. Some bottlings utilize the Charmat (tank) method, where secondary fermentation takes place in pressurized tanks, contributing to a fruity profile. For those designated as Crémant de Loire, the traditional method is employed, involving secondary fermentation in the bottle. Crémant de Loire also requires a minimum of 12 months aging, with 9 months on lees. Grapes are hand-picked from chalky soils along the Loire River.
