WINE MAKING PROCESS
Antech Cuvée Eugénie Brut is produced using the traditional method (Méthode Traditionnelle), a process involving a second fermentation in the bottle to create its effervescence. The grapes are hand-harvested, and the wine is aged on its lees for a minimum of 18 months, contributing to its complexity. Maison Antech practices sustainable viticulture, holding Terra Vitis certification and engaging in organic farming. The estate's philosophy centers on exclusively producing sparkling wines, a specialization maintained through generations of winemaking.
