TASTING NOTES-So elegant, bright, fun & pretty that it can be enjoyed with food, as an aperitif or with dessert. Hints of black cherry, dark fruit. PRODUCTION NOTES-70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Mourvèdre, Pinot noir, Sauvignon, Petit Manseng et Muscat. The Cabernet Sauvignon is hand-picked at about 10° alcohol. The free run juice (saignée) is sent to an airtight stainless steel tank where it ferments on it own with nothing added to it -- no dosage, no liquor, no gas, no sugar, no yeast. This single fermantation is referred to as Method Charmat. While similar to Petillant Natural, the difference is that the fermentation does not take place in bottle. Practicing organic.
