Grape variety
Chardonnay
Origin
The base wines of this Crémant de Bourgogne are primarily sourced from the Mâconnais region, specifically from the commune of Leynes.
Soil
Parcel selection. The grapes come from our vineyards located in the commune of Leynes, on south-facing slopes with schist soils known as "Pierre Bleue."
Vinification
After a rigorous selection of the finest press juices, the "heart of the cuvée" is vinified in oak barrels that have been used for several vintages (no new oak). The base wine is aged in these barrels on its full lees before being blended with an older vintage, matured for 60 months in bottles on laths (a process known as "remise en cercle"). Once the wines have been assembled, it is put in bottles and this meticulous work is then extended by an additional 30 months of bottle aging on laths, under the watchful eye of our oenologists, ensuring that each bottle reaches its full potential.
