WINE MAKING PROCESS
Henri Maillart Brut is produced using the traditional method, which involves a secondary fermentation in the bottle to create its effervescence. The wine is a blend of three key Champagne grape varieties: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier. Aging on lees is a common practice in Champagne, contributing to the wine's texture and complexity. The dosage, the addition of sugar and wine before corking, is typically around 6 g/l for a Brut style, contributing to its dryness.
