Harvests of Chenin and Ugni Blanc, Folle Blanche, Colombard and Menu Pineau are assembled from good vineyards, trained to yield grapes exclusively for sparkling wines. Inclusion of fruit is central to the quality at Louis Perdrier, candidate parcels are visited throughout the growing season and sampled as they ripen on the vine, the rigorous selection process extends to trials at the Perdrier cellars in Beaune. Grapes are crushed and sent to fermenters for vinification, upon completion, batches are assembled into the base wine and treated to a second ferment, followed by an extended term of age on yeast lees to infuse the palate, contribute textures and achieve a sparkling wine of impeccable balance.
