Chemins de Bassac, Les Parcelles Petillantes Obscure 2021 750ml

Personality: Vivacity and a pretty balance of fresh fruit and a little residual sugar, left from the wild fermentation. Its lively fizz makes it perfect for aperitives no matter the season – serve well chilled!

Vineyard: Obscure, 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: “Obscure” is the traditional name of the parcel where the grapes for this charming floral petillant-naturel are grown, using biodynamic farming practices. To complete its title, the label celebrates nocturnal animals that hang around the vineyard.
