WINE MAKING PROCESS
Champagne Chapuy Tradition Brut is produced using the traditional method for Champagne. The base wines undergo primary fermentation in stainless steel tanks to maintain freshness. Following this, the wine undergoes secondary fermentation in the bottle, where it develops its characteristic bubbles and complexity. The Tradition Brut is aged on its lees for 2 to 3 years, a process that contributes to its texture and aromatic profile. The estate employs environmentally conscious viticultural practices, including the avoidance of herbicides and the promotion of biodiversity, and holds High Environmental Value (HVE) certification.
