Grape variety/vinification

The grapes for this wine grow in Burgundy on clay and limestone soils. After the manual harvest, the grapes are slowly pressed. Only the first pressing is used for the blend, to get the highest quality. Malolactic fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks. Second fermentation takes place in the bottle, is induced by the addition of yeasts and sugar. The wine then matures on the yeast cells for between 14 and 24 months. This blanc de blancs is made from Chardonnay and Aligoté grapes.
