Hand-harvested, grapes harvested between 1000 and 1200 meters above sea level, varietals vinified separately, long Charmat* fermentation.*Charmat method: fermentation and bubbling in closed tanks. Fermentation takes place in a high-pressure tank. The wine, yeast and fermenting liqueur are added, and the whole is kept at a temperature of 20°C to facilitate fermentation. Some 15 to 20 days later, with the tank closed, the carbon dioxide cannot escape: the result is an effervescent product. It is then filtered into so-called tirage vats, where it remains until bottling.
