Brut Dargent is a sparkling wine of the very highest quality. It is composed of classic French grape varieties and fermented a second time in the bottle according to the “Méthode Traditionnelle”. Its nuanced flavour and elegant mousseux delight gourmet fans around the globe.
The finest sparkling wine can only be produced from the very best grapes. For Brut Dargent, we use the crème de la crème of classic French grape varieties – Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Merlot. These are carefully harvested, pressed in batches according to all the strict rules of wine making, and blended into finely balanced base wines by our cellar master. Given that wine is a natural product, the production of the base wines requires a great deal of experience and sensitivity from our cellar team.
One special feature regarding the “Méthode Traditionnelle” is the second fermentation in the bottle. With the help of a traditional method that is also used for the production of champagne, the base wine fermented in the barrel for the first time is filled into a sparkling wine bottle with a little yeast and a little sugar and sealed with a temporary crown cork. During this second fermentation phase, not only alcohol is produced, but also the mousseux characteristic of the highest quality sparkling wines. Once the second fermentation process is complete, our Maître de Cave Brut Dargent is left for a while so that it can develop its complex flavour. To complete the “Méthode Traditionnelle”, the temporary crown cork is opened, the yeast is removed and the bottle is resealed with a classic champagne cork.
