Vinification of Champagne The production of Champagne begins in the renowned Champagne region in France, where the grape varieties Chardonnay, Pinot Meunier and Pinot Noir thrive under optimal climatic conditions. Cultivation is carried out according to strict standards in order to maximize the ripening of the grapes. Experienced winemakers select the best, fully ripe grapes, which are usually harvested in early autumn to preserve optimal freshness and acidity. After the harvest, the grapes are gently processed, during which the must develops its characteristic aromas in the cellar through controlled fermentation. Classic bottle fermentation is essential for the production of Champagne – here the base wine obtained is mixed with yeast and sugar and stored in bottles. The second fermentation in the bottle provides the typical perlage and the complex aromas that make Champagne so lively. The maturation of Champagne usually takes at least 15 months, and in some cases even longer. During this time the fine bubbles and the full aroma profile develop. Thanks to slow maturation in cool cellars, this sparkling wine acquires its elegant freshness and harmonious taste. Careful disgorgement and dosage at the end of production guarantee a balanced harmony between dryness and fruitiness – for a premium enjoyment experience that reflects the high art of Champagne production.
