## Wine making process

Veuve Ambal produces its Pour Toi Blanc de Blancs Brut using the traditional method, also known as the 'méthode traditionnelle'. This involves a primary fermentation in stainless steel tanks, followed by a secondary fermentation in the bottle to create the effervescence. The wine then undergoes an aging process of at least eighteen months on its lees, which contributes to its texture and complexity. Grapes are hand-harvested to ensure optimal fruit quality. The winery also emphasizes sustainable viticulture practices, with efforts to reduce chemical treatments and some vineyards certified for organic farming.
