The production of Moutard's Demi-Sec champagne
From the heart of the Côte des Bar, this champagne is made from grapes grown on Kimmeridgian clay-limestone soil. The vines are cultivated with respect for the environment, with soil preparation including winter plowing and natural amendments based on cow manure and grape marc.
Vinification
The grapes are harvested by hand, followed by gentle pneumatic pressing. The must is cold settled (7°C) then fermented in temperature-controlled vats at 18-20°C. The second fermentation takes place in the bottle at 15°C, followed by a minimum of 36 months' ageing on slats. The final dosage is 34 g/L, giving this champagne its typical Demi-Sec character.
Tasting notes

Palate
