The Basket Press
At Champagne Les Cinq Filles we work with half a century old wooden Coquard wooden basket press
We believe the magic of champagne begins here this type of Press contributes to the production of superior champagne due to several factors ; the wooden slats provide a gentle pressing process that extracts the juice without damaging the grape seeds and skins, resulting in a higher quality juice, the semi-automatic process allows for greater control over the pressing, ensuring that only the best juice is extracted.
The use of old French techniques and the ethos of working with tradition and craftsmanship contributes to the overall quality of the final product. Together, these factors create a unique and superior champagne that is highly sought after by our winemaker Yvonne Seier Christensen.
