How Were the Bubbles Born?

The way a wine is made defines its depth and experience:

• • Traditional Method (Méthode Champenoise): Second fermentation happens in the bottle, producing fine, persistent bubbles and layers of complexity. Found in Champagne, Alta Langa, and Crémant.

• • Charmat Method: Fermented in stainless steel tanks—lighter, fruitier, fresher. Common in Prosecco.

• • Coravin Sparkling Preservation: While not a method of production, it is revolutionizing how sparkling wines are served and stored—preserving the magic of the bubbles after opening.

For a luxury experience, always seek wines made in the traditional method.
