Vinification
The harvest is hand-picked into shallow boxes, followed immediately by a soft pressing of whole grapes Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Meunier, which are processed separately. Pinot Noir and Meunier after fermentation are aged in steel tanks, while the Chardonnay is fermented and aged in oak barrels for 8 months. The following spring, the wine is bottled with the addition of selected yeasts (tirage). After staying on the lees for at least 8 years, you run the riddling and disgorging with the addition of the liqueur d’expedition.
