Presentation
Inspired by the esteys-the charming little waterways that meander through the heart of southwestern France-our Comtesse takes her name and grace from this timeless landscape. Crafted with meticulously selected grape varieties and produced using the traditional method, this Crémant de Bordeaux is a sparkling expression of French elegance and the art of living.
Winemaking
After pressing comes the « settling » of the juice, i.e. the refrigerated tank for decantating for 48 hours minimum. The clear juice is then fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats.
After the fermentation, the wines are extracted and filtered. The wine obtained is called Base Wine. The next step is the foaming, which takes place according to the Champagne method. A second fermentation is caused in the bottle, the aim is to obtain prestigious bubbles. Each bottle is filled with base wine with live yeasts and sugar. The aging process lasts at least 9 months so that the second fermentation produces the necessary pressure.
