75% of our activity takes place in our vine yards. It is the origin of the quality of the wine that starts from the very first moments.
From October to January: Preparation of the strimming, spreading
of manure.
It's at least 15 month later (for us, is 24 month later in order to assure a better quality) and after the sparkling, the first bottles can be prepared and place on your table, for drinking.
After the riddling period, to eliminate the deposit (sediment), bottles are disgorged and dosaged to become a Champagne Brut Sec or Demi Sec. The Champagne is definately labelled and it can be put on your table for degustation.
Between bottling and sale, we always respect a minimum period of 2 years for Cuvée Carte Blanche and sometimes until 10 or more years for vintages.
The production of Champagne is based on a series of highly precise processes requiring expert know-how. From pressing to alcoholic fermentation, from blending to riddling, from disgorgement to dosage, each step is carried out in accordance with Champagne traditions passed down from generation to generation. This attention to detail ensures that when the bottle reaches your table, it carries the history and the terroir that give it its full identity.
The stage of blending is of crucial importance for every House, standing out as a highlight in the process of creating their wines. Once a year, in an atmosphere reminiscent of a ritual filled with tradition and emotion, Béatrice and Hubert Fagot devote themselves fully to this delicate art, supported by their expert oenologist. Together, they carefully and precisely orchestrate the harmonious union between the base wines and reserve wines, as well as between the crus and the grape varieties, expressing the full potential of their expertise. Guided by their deep emotions and unique sensitivity, they create a distinctive signature, an incomparable style that faithfully embodies the essence of their vineyard. This meticulous work becomes a reflection of the distinctive character and specific qualities that define the winemaker’s terroir, revealing all its richness and authenticity.
