The grapes are hand-harvested at the perfect moment to preserve delicate aromas and freshness, ensuring an optimal balance of acidity and sugar. The first step of vinification involves gentle pressing of the uncrushed grapes, using only the high-quality juice from the so-called “Cuvée.” The alcoholic fermentation takes place under controlled, cool temperatures in stainless steel tanks to maintain the purity and freshness of the Chardonnay. After fermentation, the wine is refined on the fine lees for at least 24 months — a crucial process that grants the wine its fine creamy texture, depth, and complex yeast aromas. The second fermentation in the bottle, the second “Prise de Mousse,” is carried out using traditional methods.
