WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for the Grande Cuvée Blanc Brut begins with a manual harvest of grapes from vines approximately 25 years old. The grapes undergo slow pressing using pneumatic presses, with only the first, richer, and more complex pressings selected for this wine. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve freshness and purity. A team of oenologists meticulously crafts the final blend. Following this, the wine is aged for a minimum of 12 months on laths in constant-temperature cellars, utilizing the traditional method (méthode traditionnelle) to develop its characteristic fine bubbles and specific aromas.
