WINE MAKING PROCESS
Champagne Vincent D’Astrée employs a winemaking philosophy focused on expressing terroir and minerality, with an emphasis on low dosage and extended aging. Grapes are hand-harvested. Fermentation processes may involve partial or blocked malolactic fermentation to shape the wine's character. The wines undergo extended aging to develop complexity. Sustainable viticulture is practiced, with some vineyards certified 'High Environmental Value,' incorporating methods like wooden supports, low stone walls, rosebush planting, and sexual confusion for pest management.
