Méthode Traditionnelle

Sparkling wines produced using the traditional method, also known as the Champagne method, are premium-quality sparkling wines. They follow a specific production process that guarantees fine bubbles and unmatched aromatic elegance. This method, used to produce the famous Champagnes, is also adopted by many other French appellations in the making of Crémant. Discover our selection of sparkling wines carefully crafted with passion, following this traditional method.

The traditional method: a unique expertise

The traditional method involves a second fermentation in the bottle, a key step that creates the fine bubbles characteristic of these wines. After the initial fermentation in a vat, a liqueur de tirage (a mixture of wine, sugar, and yeasts) is added to the wine before it is bottled. It is during this second fermentation (which takes place in the bottle) that carbon dioxide naturally forms, creating the effervescence. This process is followed by long aging on the lees to enrich the aromas and provide great complexity on the palate.

Prestigious appellations using the Champagne method

While Champagne is the most iconic appellation for this method, other French wine regions also produce sparkling wines of great finesse. Crémant de Bourgogne, Crémant de Loire, Crémant d’Alsace, and Crémant du Jura are particularly appreciated for their excellent value for money. These sparkling wines, often made from the same noble grape varieties as Champagne, such as Chardonnay or Pinot Noir, offer a variety of profiles, ranging from floral and fruity aromas to more brioche and toasted notes.
