Our Wines

Méthode traditionnelle is a revered technique for producing sparkling wines of exceptional quality that originated in the Champagne region of France. This method includes tirage, a secondary fermentation where the base wine is combined in the bottle with sweet dosage and yeast and sealed with a crown cap to create pressure and bubbles.

After aging for 18 months or longer on their lees, the bottles are disgorged and enclosed with their traditional corks and wire cages. This hands-on approach, marked by riddling and disgorgement to remove sediment, contributes to the signature taste and texture of méthode traditionnelle sparkling wines, celebrated for their delicate bubbles, rich aromas and refined taste that exemplify the artistry of traditional winemaking techniques.
