WINE MAKING PROCESS
Champagne Guy Méa Tradition Brut is produced using traditional pressing methods, with fermentation taking place in enamelled vats. The wine then undergoes a significant period of aging on lees in the bottle, with a minimum of four years specified, contributing to its development. A key element of its production involves the integration of older reserve wines, adding layers of complexity. Grapes are hand-harvested. The estate is committed to sustainable viticulture, holding High Environmental Value (HVE) certification and practicing organic farming methods.
