WINE MAKING PROCESS
Launois Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Réserve is produced using 100% Chardonnay grapes. The winemaking process involves alcoholic and malolactic fermentation, primarily in stainless steel tanks, though oak barrel vinification is possible under certain conditions. The wine undergoes an extended aging period of over 36 months on its lees. Farming practices follow principles of reasoned viticulture. The estate also utilizes historic bottle designs.
