WINE MAKING PROCESS
The J-Y de Carlini Blanc de Noirs Grand Cru Brut is produced using the traditional Champagne method. This involves a primary fermentation followed by a secondary fermentation in the bottle to create effervescence. The wine is made exclusively from Pinot Noir grapes sourced from Grand Cru vineyards in the Montagne de Reims. Aging takes place on lees in the bottle, a process that contributes to the wine's texture and aromatic complexity. The estate's approach focuses on showcasing the character of Pinot Noir from its esteemed terroirs.
