- Phase 1 : Making the base wine
Classic white winemaking techniques
- Phase 2 : Transforming the still base wine into an effervescent/sparkling wine.
- The secondary fermentation (prise de mousse) and ageing are done in bottles, as in the traditional method.
- There are no riddling or disgorging operations.
- The bottles are emptied by direct siphoning, and the gassy wine is kept under pressure and stored in tanks.
- The wine is filtered under pressure and pumped back to the tanks, where the dosage liqueur is added.
- The wine is transferred to pre-rinsed bottles with its original CO2 gas. This operation is performed with a counter-pressure filler.
- The bottles are immediately corked and wired.
