## Wine making process

This Champagne is produced using the traditional method, involving a secondary fermentation in the bottle to create its signature bubbles. The base wine is made from 100% Chardonnay grapes. Following the secondary fermentation, the wine is aged on its lees, a process that contributes to its texture and flavor profile. It is then disgorged to remove the lees before final corking.
