In The CellarWe do a traditional whole bunch pressing, and for the Brut, we only use the first free-run juice (400 litres per ton) of the Pinot Noir, to prevent too much tannin extraction. The juice undergoes fermentation in stainless steel tanks and spends three months on the lees thereafter. As a non-vintage wine, we have the luxury of making up the final blend from different vintages. The wine undergoes a second fermentation in the bottle and matures for 14-20 months on the lees. Thereafter the disgorging and dosage take place.
