## Wine making process

Gremillet Cuvée Biologique Brut is produced using organic viticulture methods. The grapes undergo primary fermentation, followed by a secondary fermentation in the bottle, characteristic of the traditional method for Champagne production. The wine is then aged on its lees, a process that contributes to its complexity and texture. The harvest is managed to ensure the grapes are picked at their optimal point for balance and quality.
