ABOUT THIS WINE
Regis Fliniaux Cuvée Prestige Grand Cru Brut is a Champagne produced by the family-run estate of Régis Fliniaux. The wine's designation as 'Grand Cru' indicates that its grapes are sourced from the most highly-rated villages within the Champagne appellation, specifically from the Grand Cru village of Aÿ. This cuvée is a non-vintage blend, reflecting the producer's commitment to a consistent house style. The estate is characterized by its long-standing family history in winemaking, dating back to around 1900, and the personal involvement of Régis Fliniaux in the production process, which results in a limited annual output.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Regis Fliniaux Cuvée Prestige Grand Cru Brut is produced using the traditional Champagne method, involving secondary fermentation in the bottle to create its effervescence. Grapes are sourced from Aÿ, a Grand Cru classified village, ensuring high-quality fruit. The winemaking process emphasizes traditional techniques, with Régis Fliniaux personally involved in many aspects of production, including manual riddling and disgorging. While specific details on fermentation vessels are not provided for this cuvée, the estate's approach can involve stainless steel for fruit-forward wines or oak for added complexity. The wine undergoes aging on its lees, a standard practice in Champagne production that contributes to its character.
