Description
History
Eliane Delalot’s small Domaine is located on the hillsides of Charly-sur-Marne and Saulchery, in the Vallée de la Marne. Eliane is a refined woman with the ways of another era, part of the eighth generation of a family of winemakers; her approach to the vineyard has always been based on naturalness, totally renouncing the use of mechanical means and harmful products. Furthermore, in 2010, the Domaine completed the conversion to the organic method and, after abandoning his job as an Art History teacher, Eliane’s son, Jérôme, also joined the company.
Grapes used

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%
