## Wine making process

Liébart-Régnier Les Sols Bruns Brut is fermented in stainless steel tanks to maintain fruit purity, with malolactic fermentation completed for balance. Individual parcels may be vinified separately, potentially in oak casks. The wine is aged for a minimum of 3 years on lees, with 20 months specifically dedicated to this process, contributing to its texture and complexity. The producer employs environmentally focused viticulture, holding certifications for High Environmental Value, Sustainable Viticulture in Champagne, and organic farming. They also cultivate a range of traditional and ancestral grape varieties.
