AGING IN THE BOTTLE
36 months on the fine lees. During the refinement period the sediments are brought back into suspension at least 6/8 times
DISGORGEMENT A LA GLACE ET LIQUEUR D’EXPEDITION After the refinement we move on to the REMUAGE phase, which is done by hand on the wooden pupitres, practically the yeasts are brought down from the bottom of the bottle, up to the neck. In jargon, the bottles are placed “on top”. The subsequent processing consists in freezing the neck of the bottle, uncorking it, introducing the liqueur d’expedition, filling it with the same wine and closing it with the mushroom cap. After a few months we are ready for the toast.

THE LABEL
With this label we wanted to establish our desire to obtain convivial and joyful wines. Wines to drink and to share. The writing JOKE with the same characters for the JOLLY cards underline this light concept
