- Method : At the end of the manual harvest, the bunches are pressed in a very soft way and the flower must ferments in vats at a controlled temperature with vinifications carried out separately for each single parcel. The base wines rest for a few months, partially carrying out the malolactic fermentation, before being blended for the creation of the definitive cuvée, with the addition of a percentage ranging from 33 to 40% of reserve wines from previous vintages, which contribute to giving richness and maturity to the wine. The second fermentation takes place in the bottle according to the Champenoise Method, with a period of rest on the lees of 6-8 years in the caves of the Maison. Made with pure Chardonnay grapes harvested from the renowned Côte des Blancs, aging on the lees continues for 48-60 months.
