Winemaking and Aging

To achieve its delicate rosé hue and elegant profile, the grapes are vinified using the sagnée method, which involves separating a portion of the must after brief contact with the skins, to extract only the finest color and aromas. After fermentation, the base wine undergoes a second fermentation in the bottle according to the traditional method, with a long period of at least 25 months on the lees. This aging gives it creaminess, finesse, and a subtle, persistent effervescence.
