WINE MAKING PROCESS
Roger Manceaux Millésime Brut 2016 is produced using the traditional Champagne method. The grapes are fermented, likely in stainless steel tanks, with a possibility of some cuvées being vinified in oak barrels to impart additional complexity. Following primary fermentation, the wine undergoes secondary fermentation in the bottle, where it ages on its lees. This aging process contributes to the wine's texture and aromatic profile. The estate practices sustainable viticulture, holding High Environmental Value certification.
