Presentation
Cours Xavier Arnozan is the historic and strategic home of Bordeaux wine merchants. Linking the centre of Bordeaux with the quai des Chartrons, an important commercial port in the 17th century, merchants based themselves here to export to many foreign countries where the wines of Bordeaux were already appreciated. Discover the world of Arnozan through its complete palate of appellations : Bordeauxc dry white, Bordeaux rosé, Bordeaux red, Bordeaux supérieur, Côtes de Bergerac moelleux (sweet), Médoc, Saint-Estèphe, Lussac Saint-Emilion... and now the red and white Bordeaux Esprit d'Arnozan.
Location
Crémants de Bordeaux are white or rosé sparkling wines. Coming from the Entre Deux Mers region, the characteristics of these wines are strongly linked to their terroir as well as the temperate maritime climate of the region. Situated between the Garonne and the Dordogne, the crémant vineyards benefit from a high level of humidity, essential for their production according to the méthode champenoise.
Winemaking
Picking is done by hand. All the fruit is transported from the vineyard to the press using small crates. The different production steps follow the méthode champenoise: pressing, first fermentation, second fermentation in bottle, ageing, riddling, disgorging and dosage to obtain a sugar level of 10 g/l.
