WINE MAKING PROCESS
The production of Bernard Pertois Tradition Brut Grand Cru involves the vinification of 100% Chardonnay grapes. Malolactic fermentation is a key step in the process, contributing to the wine's texture and complexity. Following fermentation, the Champagne undergoes an extended aging period of 4 to 5 years in the cellars. This maturation on lees is essential for developing the fine mousse and nuanced aromas. Grapes are harvested by hand to ensure optimal quality.
