The Story
Grapes manually harvested in small boxes, pressed and settled.
After racking, first fermentation at 16°-18°C to preserve freshness.
Blending (70% Cabernet Franc & 30% Merlot) and bottling.
Prise de mousse (second fermentation). Liqueur de tirage (mixture of still wine sugar and yeast) added to the wine then closed with a crown cap. Bottles are stored horizontally and the second fermentation begins, lasting up to 8 weeks.
Aging. Wines age in the bottle (on the lees) for 12 months, gaining flavors and body.
Remuage (riddling). Bottles placed on special racks that hold them at a 45° angle with crown cap pointed down. Every few days bottles are slightly turned, given a small shake and twist, and then restored on racks with the angle gradually increased until the bottle is upside down. This process pushes the dead yeast cells and sediment towards the neck of the bottle.
Dégorgement (disgorgement). The dead yeast and sediment removed.
Dosage. Liquid lost from disgorgement replaced with liquer d’expedition.
Final corking with a protective wire cap placed over the top of the bottle.
