WINE MAKING PROCESS
Maison Lissner Crémant Brut Nature Blanc de Noir 2018 is produced using 100% Pinot Noir grapes, vinified as a white wine. The winemaking process involves slow pressing and spontaneous fermentation, utilizing native yeasts. Following the traditional method for sparkling wine, it undergoes a second fermentation in the bottle (tirage). Notably, the 2018 vintage was tiraged simultaneously with the 2017 vintage as a method to balance the resulting wine's acidity. The wine is aged on lees, contributing to its texture and complexity. The producer emphasizes organic and biodynamic farming practices, with a philosophy of minimal intervention throughout the vineyard and cellar, often resulting in unfiltered and unsulfited wines.
