Vinification and Aging

After choosing 100% Chardonnay grapes , the fermentation of the wine is traditional . Bottling follows with the addition of traditional yeasts , handed down over the centuries by the Autreau family , in order to develop carbon dioxide or second fermentation for about 24 months .

Territory

The Autreau winery has been based in the Champillon Hills since 1670 . Here the combination of tradition and modernity meets one of the most evocative terroirs of the Champagne wine region and so in 1953 they founded the Domaine Autreau . Over the years the company has evolved from the initial 5 hectares of vineyards cultivated by the founder Gerard Autreau to the current 35 hectares , divided into 3 Premier Cru terroirs and 2 Grand Cru terroirs .

Soil
