WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Louis Bouillot Crémant de Bourgogne Brut Grand Millésimé 2020 is produced using the traditional method (Méthode Traditionnelle). Grapes are hand-harvested and undergo primary fermentation, followed by a second fermentation in the bottle to create the effervescence. The wine is then aged on its lees for a minimum of 24 months, a process that contributes to its depth of flavor and texture. This extended aging is a hallmark of the 'Grand Millésimé' designation.
