From 100% Chardonnay pure vinification, the Maison Comte de Montaigne produces this sensational Blanc de Blancs Grand Reserve, which expresses all the Champagne tradition. The vinification involves the use of the method based on operating a double fermentation of the must at a controlled temperature and with the second fermentation in the bottle. Aging on the yeasts is more than three times that allowed by the 15-month disciplinary, this is to give the wines greater complexity. Aging ranges from 3 to 4 years. The finesse of the perlage of our Cuvées is given by this long aging, by a noble raw material and by a perfectly controlled, fresh and constant cellar temperature.
