Once the grapes have been harvested, the winemaking process begins with gentle, gradual pressing. This essential step extracts a pure, delicate juice, without altering the fruit’s subtle aromas. The resulting musts are then fermented in temperature-controlled tanks, where the natural sugars are transformed into alcohol. Throughout this process, the oenological teams are careful to preserve the balance and elegance that are the hallmarks of the Joseph Perrier style.Blending is a key stage in the elaboration of Joseph Perrier champagnes, where the expertise of Nathalie Laplaige, our talented cellar master, comes into play.
