WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Liébart-Régnier Horti Extra Brut is produced using a blend of Arbane, Petit Meslier, and Pinot Blanc grapes, sourced from a historic plot. The winemaking process involves aging in oak barrels for periods ranging from 6 to 18 months, with the specific cuvée dictating the duration. Secondary fermentation in the bottle creates the characteristic effervescence of Champagne.
