WINE MAKING PROCESS
The production of Roger Manceaux Premier Cru Cuvée de Réserve Brut follows the traditional Champagne method. Grapes are fermented, with primary fermentation often taking place in stainless steel tanks, though some oak may be used for added complexity. Following secondary fermentation in the bottle, the wine ages for an extended period on its lees. This aging process is crucial for developing the wine's characteristic depth and texture. The final blend is carefully composed to achieve balance and harmony, with a dosage added before final corking.
