Its neighbor and current subsidiary is Salon, with which it shares the goal of producing great blanc de blancs.
Grapes used
Chardonnay 55%
Pinot Noir 35%
Pinot Meunier 10%
Production method
It is produced according to the so-called methode champenoise or classic method, a method in which the wine 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
12.5%
