WINE MAKING PROCESS
Vaux Blanc de Noirs 2022 is produced using the traditional bottle fermentation method, mirroring the techniques used in Champagne. This involves a secondary fermentation within the bottle, which creates the wine's characteristic fine and persistent bubbles. The wine undergoes extended maturation on its lees, a process that enriches its texture and develops complex aromatic profiles. The grapes are sourced from the producer's vineyards in the Geisenheim growing district of the Rheingau. Sektmanufaktur Schloss VAUX AG is actively transitioning its viticultural practices towards 100% organic cultivation.
