| Wine maker notes |
| The vines grow on clay and limestone soils at an elevation of 820 to 920 feet above sea-level.
Grapes undergo fermentation in stainless steel vats. The base wine is fermented to approximately 7◦ alcohol, and the fermentation is stopped by chilling the juice to a temperature of 34°F. In March, yeast is added to the blend and it is bottled. The wine then undergoes a second fermentation in bottle, also known as “prise de mousse”. Temperature is strictly controlled during this process in order to create the best bubble size. Second fermentation is stopped when the pressure in the bottle reaches 4.5-5 bars. Finally, the bottle is disgorged and corked. No liqueur d’expedition is added. The wine is released after three months of bottle ageing. |
