Methode Traditionelle: Labour of Love

Esses uses the traditional French method, Méthode Traditionnelle, to produce rich, refined, and complex vintage sparkling, with each vintage taking up to five years to make. This is the same technique that is undertaken in Champagne and is a labour of love, driven by passion and patience. Exceptional wine takes time.
