WINE MAKING PROCESS
Beaumont des Crayères Fleur de Prestige 2016 is produced using grapes from the Champagne appellation. The winemaking process involves selecting the 'Cœur de cuvée' at pressing. The wine undergoes fermentation, followed by secondary fermentation in the bottle to create its sparkle. Vintage Champagnes, like this one, are aged for extended periods, in this case, over five years, to develop complexity. The producer emphasizes a vegan-friendly approach, working without animal additives.
