WINE MAKING PROCESS
This Champagne is produced exclusively from 100% Chardonnay grapes sourced from Premier Cru vineyards in the Côte des Blancs. The base wine is fermented in a mix of stainless steel vats and oak casks. Following fermentation, the wine spends at least 30 months aging on its lees, contributing to its texture and complexity. It also undergoes 2.5 years of aging on tirage before release. The dosage is typically very low, characteristic of Extra Brut or Brut Nature styles, aiming to highlight the wine's inherent minerality and freshness. The estate employs sustainable viticulture practices, including minimal sulfur use and Lutte Raisonnée farming.
