WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Baron Dauvergne Or Caché de Bouzy begins with hand-picked grapes that undergo whole-bunch pressing. Alcoholic fermentation is conducted at 18°C, followed by malolactic fermentation in new oak barrels. The wine is then aged on laths in traditional cellars. The final blend is composed of the best vats, and a dosage of 7g of sugar per litre classifies it as Brut. This non-vintage Champagne is crafted to ensure consistent quality across different years.
