WINE MAKING PROCESS
Champagne Bardiau's La Croix Maître Anne is produced using 100% Chardonnay grapes. The vinification process involves aging the wine in oak barrels. Following the secondary fermentation in the bottle (tirage), the wine undergoes an extended aging period of at least 24 months on its lees. The estate's vineyards are cultivated without the use of herbicides or insecticides, reflecting a conscious approach to viticulture.
