Vineyard:
The success of the brand’s first vintages were evident and, in order to increase production levels, Feuillatte joined together with 4000 other growers. In 1986, Feuillatte sold his business to form the CV-CNF, which at the time consisted of 5000 growers.
The CV-CNF now has access to more than 2250 hectares (5560 acres), encompassing 13 grand cru vineyards, 33 prmier cru and others from the Champagne appellation. Grapes are hand-picked and include three varieties: Chardonnay (25%), Pinot Noir (25%) and Pinot Meunier (50%).
The central production facility is located in Chouilly, with a capacity of up to 304,000 hectoliters (30.4 million liters). The site is modern and is fitted with stainless steel tanks, a gyropalette riddling system and disgorging facilities.
