All Korbel California champagnes are crafted using the traditional méthode champenoise, where fermentation occurs in the very bottle from which the champagne is served. This time-honored process takes nearly a year to complete, but the result is well worth the wait. The méthode champenoise style is renowned for its subtle complexity and for producing the countless, effervescent bubbles that make every glass of Korbel California champagne a true delight. Korbel is also deeply committed to sustainable farming practices, and every effort is made to preserve the vineyards and surrounding ecosystem. Through responsible farming and conservation practices, Korbel works to safeguard natural resources for future generations.
