WINE MAKING PROCESS
Eugene III Blanc de Noirs Brut is produced using the traditional method, which involves a secondary fermentation in the bottle to create its effervescence. Grapes are sourced from the Côte des Bars region. After the initial fermentation, the wine undergoes a period of aging on its lees. This process contributes to the wine's texture and aromatic complexity. The cooperative's philosophy centers on highlighting the distinct character of their terroir.
