WINE MAKING PROCESS
The JM Tissier Diogenis Blanc de Blancs Brut 2016 is crafted from 100% Chardonnay grapes. A key technique involves vinifying 20% of the wine in oak barrels, which adds complexity. Following primary fermentation, the wine undergoes secondary fermentation in the bottle to create its bubbles. The 2016 vintage was aged for 5 years in the cellar before disgorgement. The dosage for this vintage is extra-brut, indicating a very low residual sugar level. The producer adheres to sustainable viticulture practices and holds High Environmental Value (HVE) certification.
