Vinification of Les Grands Chais de France Chardonnay sparkling wine The production of Les Grands Chais de France Chardonnay sparkling wine begins with the careful selection of grapes from the renowned Val de Loire growing region. There, Chardonnay thrives on mineral-rich soils that offer an ideal terroir for ripe grapes. The harvest is traditionally done by hand to keep the grapes for the sparkling wine intact and fresh. Pressing is carried out gently in order to obtain only the high-quality base wine. Afterwards, the base wine undergoes classic bottle fermentation, which is typical for this type of sparkling wine. This produces the fine bubbles of carbon dioxide that create the characteristic perlage. The second fermentation takes place in the bottle, followed by an extended period of lees aging, which gives the wine additional depth and creaminess. Maturation takes place at cool temperatures to preserve the lively acidity and mineral notes. This process results in the extra brut style of the sparkling wine, which scores with particularly dry elegance and complex flavor. Quality control ensures that every vintage of Les Grands Chais de France Chardonnay sparkling wine meets the high standards of purity and freshness. Only small amounts of sulfites and sulfur dioxide are used to protect the aromas and preserve freshness. The result is a product that masterfully reflects the character of the Val de Loire and the Chardonnay grape variety.
