Principal grape varieties

Terroir

• The geographical area of the appellation corresponds to Wallonie in its entirety, a region characterised by a cool, low-sunshine, and humid climate.

• The production of the sparkling wine rests on the expertise of the growers and the use of the traditional winemaking method, enabling the creation of a sparkling wine characteristic of Wallonie.

• The base wine produced from these grapes is high in acidity and has a naturally low alcohol content.

• The cool, low-sunshine, and humid climate slows ripening, which maintains a high concentration of acids and a low accumulation of sugars, making the base wine well suited to sparkling wine production.
