WINE MAKING PROCESS
Champagne Faucheron Gavroy employs a winemaking process that begins with pressing grapes using a quality-certified stainless-steel pneumatic press for gentle extraction. Malolactic fermentation is utilized to enhance roundness and flavor. For their more prestigious cuvées, a portion of the wine is aged in oak barrels. The estate vinifies various crus and grape varieties separately to maintain their individual qualities. Blends often include 30% to 40% of selected reserve wines. The bottles undergo maturation on lees in vaulted cellars for at least three years, followed by manual riddling.
