## About this wine

Clotilde Davenne Crémant de Bourgogne Blanc de Blanc is a sparkling white wine from Burgundy, France, produced by Clotilde Davenne.

## Wine making process

Clotilde Davenne Crémant de Bourgogne Blanc de Blanc is produced using the traditional method, involving secondary fermentation in the bottle. The primary fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at low temperatures. Following this, the wine undergoes aging for a minimum of 18 months on its lees ('sur lattes'). Grapes are hand-harvested to ensure quality. The producer adheres to High Environmental Value (HVE) farming practices and works naturally in the vineyards without the use of chemicals.
