Winemaking
The first fermentation takes place in temperature controlled stainless-steel tanks. According to the classic method the second fermentation takes place in the bottle with yeast contact extended for at least 30 months, followed by traditional hand riddling (remuage) pupitres and dégorgement à la glace. A period of bottle aging follows.
