Interesting facts
Very gentle pressing occurs in the Marmonnier press, located in historic cellars built in the early 1800s, which today are classified as a UNESCO World Heritage site, where the first and best juice is vinified. Each individual pressing and batch of juice is fermented in wooden barrels and in sealed tanks at controlled temperatures until the wines are ready for blending (cuvée). The cuvée can then be bottled and yeast/sugar added for secondary fermentation for about 40 days. The sparkling wine can then be aged in the Gancia cellars for at least 36 months.
