WINE MAKING PROCESS
The De Venoge Princes Extra Brut is produced using traditional Champagne winemaking methods. Grapes are fermented in vats, preserving their inherent character. A key aspect of its production is the extended aging process, with a minimum of 48 months spent on lees. This extended maturation period is crucial for developing the wine's complexity and refined texture. The wine is finished with an Extra Brut dosage, indicating a very low level of added sugar (typically around 4g/L), which highlights the wine's natural acidity and purity.
