Chemins de Bassac, Les Parcelles Petillantes Bouteillou 2021 750ml

Personality: Floral and peachy, as one can expect from a good Viognier! Fine bubbles and distinct fruitiness makes it a super-pleasant sparkler for any occasion – serve well chilled!

Vineyard: Bouteillou, estate-owned plot with limestone & clay soil. Biodynamic farming practices.

Making of: The grapes are hand-picked, pressed directly, left to naturally settle (débourbage). The wine ferments spontaneously and is bottled while still going, to finish the fermentation in bottle as pet-nat. Unfined, unfiltered, undisgorged, no sulfites added.

Winemaker's Note: Bouteillou (“small bottle” in French) is the traditional name of the parcel where the grapes for this charming floral pétillant-naturel are grown, using biodynamic farming practices. To complete its cute title, the label celebrates tiny animals that hang around the vineyard.
