WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Vignon Père & Fils Réserve des Marquises Grand Cru 2017 involves vinifying each vineyard plot separately. A portion of the wine is aged in oak barrels, and fermentation is conducted using natural yeasts. The wine undergoes extended maturation on its lees, which contributes to its texture and complexity. The estate practices minimal intervention, with no fining or filtration applied to the final product. The dosage is set at an Extra Brut level (3 g/l).
