WINE MAKING PROCESS
Réserve Petitjean-Pienne is crafted using 100% Chardonnay grapes sourced from Grand Cru vineyards in the Côte des Blancs. The grapes are hand-harvested and undergo a slow pressing process. Base wines are aged for several months on fine lees before blending. A crucial element of its production is the extended aging period, with a minimum of 8 years spent on laths before disgorgement. The estate employs sustainable viticulture practices, including permanent grass cover in its vineyards.
