About Gruet Winery
Founded 1984, Gruet’s specialty is sparkling wines of the Methode Champenoise variety. What is Methode Champenoise you might ask? Well, dear reader, it is the traditional method of fermentation used in the production of sparkling wines and Champagne. The wine ferments once in a barrel, and then undergoes a second fermentation in the bottle. Operating out of New Mexico, the winery’s roots trace back to Gilbert Gruet’s Champagne House in Bethon, France. Family-owned, they’ve reached a place of respect and acclaim among the nation’s top sommeliers.
