Perfect as an aperitif, it will appeal to lovers of precision and character.

Foaming and ageing

Liqueur de tirage (a mixture of yeast and sugar) and leaven are added to the wines before bottling. Under the action of the yeast, carbon dioxide generates effervescence. The bottles remain on laths for a minimum of 24 months at constant temperature in our cellars. This prolonged ageing allows the wine to develop its specific aromas and to offer bubbles of great finesse. The bottles are then stirred and disgorged to remove the yeast deposit. A dosage-determining expedition liqueur is added before labeling and packaging.

Harvest

Manual

Winemaking

On receipt of the harvest, we carry out slow pressing using our pneumatic presses to respect the integrity of the berries. The first presses, richer and more complex, are selected to make the best basic wines in stainless steel tanks. After filtration and clarification, the wine is ready for bottling.
