WINE MAKING PROCESS
Champagne Juillet-Lallement Special Club Grand Cru 2018 is produced using grapes from their Grand Cru vineyards in Verzy and Sillery. Vinification takes place in thermo-regulated stainless-steel vats to maintain freshness. Some vintages may see aging in 300-liter oak barrels made from local Verzy forest wood. The 'Special Club' designation involves a rigorous selection process, including blind tastings of still wines and wines after three years of bottle aging. The estate practices reasoned cultivation and sustainable viticulture, respecting the natural environment.
