The current vineyards are the result of a selection of the best plants, with genetic characteristics suitable for producing grapes of the highest quality, also considering the specific soil and climatic conditions of each parcel of land. The winery covers a total of 22 hectares, with vineyards located in Aÿ, Mareuil-sur-Ay, Bisseuil and Dizy.

Production method

It is produced according to the so-called champenoise method or classic method, a method in which the wine substantially undergoes two different fermentations: the first, the alcoholic one (which it shares with the rest of the wines) takes place in vats for fermentation; the second instead takes place directly in the bottle and ensures that during this second procedure, thanks to particular yeasts, the wine also develops carbon dioxide (which will then give life to the famous bubbles when uncorked).

Alcohol content

12%
