WINE MAKING PROCESS
Champagne Larnaudie-Hirault Prestige Premier Cru is produced using the traditional Méthode Champenoise. This involves primary fermentation, followed by a secondary fermentation in the bottle to create effervescence. The wine is aged on its lees, a process that contributes to its texture and complexity. As a non-vintage Champagne, it is a blend of wines from multiple harvests, a technique employed to ensure a consistent style and quality year after year. Grapes are hand-harvested to maintain fruit integrity.
