WINE MAKING PROCESS
Le Gallais La Pavillonne Blanc de Blancs 2019 is produced using 100% Chardonnay grapes. The primary fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks with temperature control and selected yeasts, followed by malolactic fermentation. The wine is then aged for 4 to 5 years on its lees, a crucial step in developing its texture and complexity. The grapes are hand-harvested, and the estate adheres to sustainable viticulture and low-intervention winemaking practices, including minimal sulphite usage. The wine is finished with a Brut dosage of 6g/L.
