The base wine is blended utilizing 73% Pinot Noir and 27% Chardonnay before being placed in tirage the following spring after harvest. This sparkling wine was also crafted in the Methode Traditionnelle, a winemaking technique utilized for sparkling wines where the wine is allowed to undergo a secondary fermentation in bottle.
