WINE MAKING PROCESS
Perle de Vigne is produced using the Traditional Method, involving a secondary fermentation in the bottle to create its sparkle. Grapes are hand-harvested and then undergo fermentation. The wine is aged on its lees for a minimum of 12 months, with some sources indicating up to 24 months. This extended aging period is crucial for developing the wine's texture and complexity. The final wine is a blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Gamay, and Aligoté.
