WINE MAKING PROCESS
Domaine du Tartemain Brut is produced using a traditional method, involving a secondary fermentation in the bottle to create its effervescence. The wine is aged for a minimum of 12 months in the cellar after bottling, during which time it rests on its lees. This process contributes to the wine's texture and aromatic profile. The grapes are sourced from various parcels within the estate, and these are blended to create the final cuvée. The dosage for this Brut wine is reported as 1 g/l.
