WINE MAKING PROCESS
Lamiable Grand Cru Phéérie 2016 is produced using the traditional method, also known as méthode champenoise. This involves a primary fermentation, likely in stainless steel, followed by a secondary fermentation in the bottle to create the characteristic effervescence. The wine then undergoes aging on its lees, a process that contributes to its complexity and texture. The grapes are sourced from old vines in the Grand Cru village of Tours-sur-Marne, with the producer emphasizing the importance of terroir in their winemaking approach.
