WINE MAKING PROCESS
Vincent Couche Élégance is produced using biodynamic viticultural practices, with grapes fermented using indigenous yeasts. The base wine undergoes full malolactic fermentation and is aged on lees for extended periods, contributing to its complexity and texture. Winemaking is conducted with minimal intervention, utilizing gravity for transfers and avoiding pumps. The wine is typically unfiltered and unfined, and some cuvées are made with no added sulfites. The dosage is Brut Nature, meaning no sugar is added after the secondary fermentation.
