Vinification of the Grande Réserve Brut from Champagne Vranken

The production of this exquisite Champagne begins with the careful selection of grapes from renowned growing regions in Champagne. There, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier thrive in optimal climate and on chalky soils. The grapes are handpicked at the ideal ripeness to ensure the highest quality.

The vinification is carried out classically:

1. Gentle pressing of the grapes to extract only the high-quality heart juice.
2. The first fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve freshness and fruitiness.
3. The assemblage of the three grape varieties ensures complexity and balance.
4. The second fermentation occurs in the bottle according to the traditional Champagne method (Méthode Champenoise), producing the characteristic effervescence.
5. A minimum of 36 months aging on the fine lees gives the Grande Réserve Brut its creamy texture and fine brioche notes.
6. After riddling and disgorging, dosage is applied to achieve the perfect Brut style.
