Grape variety

Origin
The base wines of the Cremant come from the different subdivisions of the Burgundy vineyards. Our base wines however are predominantly produced from the vines of the Côtes and Hautes Côtes of Beaune and Nuits and the Côtes Chalonnaise.
Soil
Different soils: limestone and marl in the Cotes de Nuits, Beaune and the Côte Chalonnaise and granite in Southern Burgundy.
Vinification
Traditional method. The grapes are pressed immediately upon arrival at the winery in pneumatic presses. The fermentation is carried out in stainless steel vats at
18°C. The base wines are then assembled. Fermentation (second alcoholic fermentation) in bottles and maturing for 12 months ("Sur latte") before being put in gyropallets and disgorged to eliminate the deposit in the bottle. Addition of expedition liqueur before capping and muzzling.
