WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Tradition Brut is produced using the traditional method, also known as the méthode champenoise. This involves a first fermentation in tanks, followed by a second fermentation in the bottle to create the characteristic effervescence. The wine then undergoes extended aging on its lees for a minimum of 36 months, a process that contributes to its complexity and texture. Champagne Mathelin emphasizes sustainable viticulture, incorporating practices such as permanent grass cover, rainwater recovery, and biodiversity initiatives. The estate holds Level 3 HVE certification, reflecting its commitment to environmental stewardship.
