When you open a 49M bottle, an estimated 49M bubbles are released. The fine chain of bubbles is the result of a second fermentation directly in the bottle and a long aging process in the cellar.
Presentation
Terroir
The grapes come from selected terroirs of clay-limestone and tuffeau in the southern Saumur region. Careful aging in our chalky tuffeau cellars enhances its freshness and finesse
Winemaking
Hand-harvesting, gentle pressing and cool fermentation (18°C) preserve all the aromas. A second fermentation in the bottle of a selection of the finest wines, using the Traditional Method, brings its bubbles to this cuvée.
Ageing
Bottles are stored horizontally on wooden laths in our tuffeau cellars for a minimum of 12 months before disgorging, to develop bubbles of incomparable finesse.
