WINE MAKING PROCESS
Haut-Mouleyre Crémant de Bordeaux is produced using the traditional method, a process involving secondary fermentation in the bottle. Grapes are hand-harvested, with considerable vineyard work undertaken to ensure optimal maturity. Primary fermentation occurs in temperature-controlled stainless-steel vats. Following bottling, the wine undergoes secondary fermentation and is aged on lees for a minimum of 9 months. This aging period contributes to the wine's texture and complexity.
