Blanc de Blancs Brut

The Château grand Seuil Traditional Method
The making of our Traditional Method is carried out with the white wines harvested and processed at the Château.*
Maceration and vinification: After cold stabilisation and filtration, the wine is blended in a tank with a mixture of sugars and yeasts known as the "liqueur de tirage". It is then bottled and hermitically sealed with a crown capsule. This addition of sugar and yeasts
will cause a second fermentation known as the "prise de mousse". The carbon dioxide produced by the wine during this fermentation will dissolve and be transformed into natural bubbles. The wine is then bottle-matured for 9 months, adding character and developing aromas.
Wine-tasting notes: A Blanc de Blancs Brut that will seduce you with its even bubbles and typical fruity, citrus aromas.
Tips : Enjoy this dry and fruity sparkling wine as an aperitif. For a delicious cocktail, add 1 part crème cassis (black current liqueur) to 5 parts sparkling wine. Serve well chilled.
