VINIFICATION
La Châsse du Pape Blanc de Blancs is produced from the noble chardonnay grape picked earlier when sugar levels are lower and acid levels higher. The juice of harvested grapes is pressed off quickly. This sparkling wine is elaborated according to the “Méthode Traditionnelle”, more widely known by its former name of “Méthode Champenoise”. It consists in a second fermentation process once the wine is bottled. The gas given off by this fermentation mixes with the wine and is transformed into fine bubbles.

TASTING NOTES
Grapes are vinified at 16-18°C to develop optimum fruit flavours and preserve freshness. After initial vinification in stainless steel and a second fermentation in bottle according to the Méthode Traditionnelle, the wine was aged on its lees for a minimum of 9 months in order to develop its delicate aromas and fine bubbles.
