## Wine making process

The Bergeronneau-Marion Premier Cru Grande Réserve is produced using the traditional method, involving a secondary fermentation in the bottle to create its effervescence. The grapes are sourced from Premier Cru vineyards. The wine is aged for a minimum of 27 months in the cellar, allowing for development on its lees. The estate holds HVE certification and is in the process of converting to organic farming.
