WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Michel Mailliard Cuvée Grégory Brut is produced using the Traditional Method, also known as Méthode Champenoise. This involves a first fermentation in tank, followed by a second fermentation in the bottle, which creates the wine's characteristic effervescence. The wine then undergoes aging on its lees, a process that contributes to its complexity and texture. Harvests are typically conducted by hand to ensure the quality of the grapes. The blend, often dominated by Chardonnay, is a key element in achieving the desired house style.
