- Method : After manual harvesting, the grapes are gently pressed and the must is fermented with indigenous yeasts. The base wines mature on the lees for a few months, partly in wood and partly in steel, carrying out the malolactic fermentation. Before the summer we proceed with the assembly and creation of the cuvée, choosing the best base wines of the vintage to which a percentage of 40% of reserve wines is added, to ensure a constant continuity of taste. The second fermentation takes place in the bottle in the cellars of the Maison, where the Champagne rests on the lees for at least 24 months before the manual degorgement of the bottles.
- Pairings : The wine is intense, multi-dimensional and totally intriguing from the first taste, perfect with pasta with white fish and steamed shellfish.
