Presentation
Terroir
The grapes for our "Prince Alexandre" sparkling white wine come from selected clay-limestone and tufa chalk terroirs located in the south of the Saumur area. Careful ageing in our cellars that gives its unique freshness and finesse.
Vinification
The grapes are hand picked and gently pressied. Cool first fermentation (18°C) ensure that all the aromas are preserved. Second fermentation in bottle, according to the Méthode Traditionnelle.
Ageing
The bottles are stored horizontally on wooden laths in our tufa cellars for at least 12 months before disgorging, to develop an incomparably fine bead.
