WINE MAKING PROCESS
Sällskapets Champagne Premier Cru Brut Reserve is produced by Louis Bénard-Pitois, a family estate with a long history. The winemaking process involves the separate vinification of each vineyard plot, with a portion of the Chardonnay undergoing vinification in wood. The wine is then aged for a minimum of 36 months on its lees, a crucial step in developing its complex character. The estate's approach emphasizes environmental respect and the expression of the grapes' inherent qualities.
