VINIFICATION
Before Harvest: Maturity is monitored using laboratory analysis but also by tasting individual grapes for organoleptic analysis, to determine the very best date for picking.
Harvest: Grapes hand picked and care- fully selected on each plot. After a year of careful work in the vineyard, precision in the choice of harvest date for the indivi- dual plots ensures the best possible juice quality and tasting profile.
Fermentation: Stainless steel, tempe- rature controlled tanks. Long alcoholic fermentation at ultra low temperature, with yeasts indigenous to Champagne selected to control end of fermentation. Spontaneous malolactic fermentation for biological stability and a reduction of sulphites (SO2).
