Harvest 6 - juicy

The cuvée starts to flow, a rich, sweet, juicy, dark liquid. Exciting, and amazing, that this will one day be Champagne.

This flows from around the press, down to an underground cellar and into a storage tank.

We had a special treat here, as we got to try the freshly pressed juice, which was sweet and rich and rather delicious.

From here it is pumped back up to the holding tanks, where it is carefully marked with the date and time of the pressing and wether it is the cuvée or taille.
