<p>Second vintage of this boisterous, delicious sparkling. from the A blend of Gamay and Aligoté.</p><p>From the domaine:</p><p>It is a blend of our Gamay situated in Fussey and an early harvest of Aligoté from 4 parcels in the Hautes Côtes. In order to have good concentration in our single vineyard Aligotés, we pick riper bunches 2 weeks prior to the main picking date, press them immediately and keep them cool for a few days until we pick our Gamay. We put the whole bunch Gamay in a wooden fermentation vat, then pour in the Aligoté juice. They ferment together with indigenous yeasts for a week, we press the Gamay, and afterwards the fermentation continues in the juice. This technique is called « Flottaison » and was put into practice by Daniel Sage in Ardèche.We bottled when the residual sugar measured 9.5g/ liter. The pink color comesfrom the Flottaison of Gamay in the Aligoté juice. We only produced 3 barrels this year, but we are very happy with the result, so will try to make a little more in 2023.The Pet Nat is not disgorged, it retains the yeast from the fermentationand so is a little cloudy. With 11.5 alcohol, it’s very quaffable! The flottaisonmaceration of Gamay makes a very fruity and enjoyable wine. Please serve chilled.</p>
