WINE MAKING PROCESS
R. Dumont et Fils Solera Réserve Brut is produced using the Solera method, a system of perpetual blending where 30% of the wine is drawn off annually and topped up with wine from the latest harvest. This technique was initiated in 1991. The wine is made exclusively from Chardonnay grapes and undergoes an aging process on lees for at least five years. The estate is committed to organic and biodynamic farming practices.
