Winemaking

The grapes are transported in small baskets to the winery, where they are gently pressed. The alcoholic fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel containers at 16°C for 10 to 12 days, and aging continues in steel for 6 months. At the beginning of March, the wine is bottled for the second fermentation through the addition of selected yeasts from the Champagne Wine Institute of Epernay.

The bottles are then left to rest in our cellars for 30 months. Manually, with the help of pupitres, the yeasts are slowly moved down the neck of the bottle in preparation for disgorging.

Once disgorged, the "liqueur" is added, which consists primarily of our wine, with no additional sugars and low levels of sulfites, to create our Classic Method Dosage Zero.
