## Wine making process

Champagne Guy Méa Cuvée Rosé Brut is crafted using grapes from Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. The estate practices separate vinification for each vineyard plot. For the Sig'Nature cuvée, a period of 10 months in enamelled vats on fine lees preceded bottling. Following bottling, the Sig'Nature cuvée underwent an aging process of nearly 4 years on its lees. The estate is committed to sustainable viticulture, holding High Environmental Value (HVE) certification and refraining from the use of chemical fertilizers, herbicides, and pesticides.
