Variety

- Primary fermentation in stainless steel or oak barrels to preserve freshness and complexity.
- Blending of selected base wines from a single vintage to create the millésime.
- Secondary fermentation in bottle (méthode traditionnelle) to develop fine bubbles.
- Extended aging on lees to enhance texture and depth of flavor.
- Disgorgement and dosage adjusted to achieve Brut dryness.
