in the cellar : All the grapes (Chardonnay) are whole-bunch pressed. The free run and second press-fractions are kept separate. We keep all the vineyards and blocks separate. After the settling of the juice we rack it off its lees. Fermentation takes place after yeast inoculation. About 20% of the Blanc de Blancs is barrel-fermented. After fermentation, the base wine settled and then racked off its lees. Blending of cuvee takes place after 12 weeks. Wine is then protein and cold stabilised. After this the cuvee is bottled for second fermentation in the bottle. After bottling the wines are stored at 13 – 15°C for second fermentation. After fermentation the bottles are kept for a period of 4 years at 14°C . The wines are then disgorged and kept on the cork for at least 3 months before being released into the market.
