Winemaking: From vineyards in the heart of the historic area most suitable for this grape variety with white, sandy soils of sedimentary marine origin. Grapes are harvested by hand. The vinification process starts with soft pressing of the entire grape, the must is stored in a tank at -2°C followed by slow fermentation in an autoclave at a controlled temperature until achieving an alcohol content of 5%. During this process, a part of the carbon dioxide developed during fermentation remains “entrapped”, giving the wine its mild, natural effervescence. Before bottling, it then undergoes a process of micro-filtration to give the wine its clarity, purity and stop any further fermentation of the yeasts.
