The Winemaking
The grapes destined for the Cap Classique Brut come from vineyards aged between 14 and 18 years, cultivated at various altitudes: the Pinot Noir is found at approximately 320 meters above sea level, while the Chardonnay is at 100-150 meters. The harvest is strictly manual, followed by gentle pressing. After low-temperature fermentation in stainless steel tanks, the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation, preparing it for bottle fermentation.
