WINE MAKING PROCESS
Champagne Denis Frézier Terroir Blanc Brut is produced using 100% Chardonnay grapes. The primary fermentation occurs in stainless steel thermoregulated vats. Following fermentation, the wine undergoes an extended aging period on lees for more than 3 years. Bottles are aged for 2 to 8 years before disgorgement, with a minimum of 3 months rest before release. The estate emphasizes sustainable viticulture, including practices like permanent grassing of vines and reduced input, and is currently in conversion to organic viticulture.
