The Producer
“We have been making still Chenin Blanc since the 2017 vintage and we began making the sparkling "Petillant Naturel" version since 2022. Our experience making Pet'Nat began in 2014 with the Combe Pet'Nat made with the pale red grape Trousseau, for a sparkling rose - colored wine. Chenin Blanc has a long sparkling tradition in the Loire River Valley, perhaps most notably from Vouvray, and by utilizing the natural sugar of the grape to finish fermenting in the bottle, creating co2, we are able to deliver a "fresh" version of sparkling Chenin Blanc.”
Tasting Notes
On the nose, lime zest a n d a range of lemon from verbena, to curd, to even lemon drops waft up with the pop of the bubbles. Crunchy green apple rides along a chiseled, linear profile cushioned with soft, plush foam. Bone dry and high-toned with racy, fresh acidity.
