The Wine:
Fermented the Charmat way? Definition - What does Charmat Method mean?
The process involves allowed primary fermentation to run its course, after which, the winemaker induces a secondary fermentation with a mixture of yeast and sugar and seals the wine in a stainless-steel tank to trap the CO2 inside (which makes the bubbles). How long the CO2 is trapped in the wine dictates how bubbly the final product will be – frizzante (slightly bubbly) is left for 20 days to three months; Cuvée and Prestige wines are left for up to six months.
Once second fermentation is complete, the wine is filtered and fined to remove the lees and sediment. Another mixture of sugar and wine is added to preserve the bubbles; this final mixture dictates if the wine is called Brut, Demi-Sec or Sec. Finally, the Champagne is ready to be bottled under pressure.
Sire De Baupre is one of the most popular wines of it’s kind from France, also this wine has been getting more popular over the past year.in the less expensive category for French Sparkling wines. The price has been stable for some time now.
