Pressing of the grapes with separation from the skins. Cold settling of the grape must by decantation. Temperature-controlled white fermentation for 10–12 days. Aging on fine lees from October to the end of January, followed by racking for clarification. In May/June, the cuvée is assembled for tirage (bottling for the second fermentation). This is followed by the prise de mousse and 36 months of aging on the lees. Finally, disgorgement takes place, and after a further 3 months, the wine is released to the market.
