All fermentations occur in Burgundian barrels. The majority are old, but in exceptional vintages 10 to 25% of new oak barrels enter the rotation. Alcoholic fermentation takes as long as it needs (sometimes up to six months) and is followed by malolactic fermentation. Tartaric precipitations occur under natural cold conditions, and the wine is not fined or filtered before the secondary fermentation in bottle. The vins clairs tend to be 11% or 11.5%, giving them a vinous complexity. 

One bottling occurs every year in July, with Olivier instincively blending vintage base wine and reserve wine as he sees fit. A small dosage, usually 1.7 or 2.4 grams, is applied, making the wine Extra Brut. In March, and annual disgorgement is performed. Les Pierrières has historically been disgorged after 36 months sur lattes but has passed to 48 months starting with the 2015 base.
