Pétillant Naturel (or "Pét-Nat") is a method of producing sparkling wine, also referred to as “Methode Ancestrale”, where the carbonation occurs from bottling the wine during the primary, alcoholic fermentation – in order to capture the carbon dioxide that is being naturally released. This sparkling rosé was made from all estate-grown, Demeter certified Biodynamic® Pinot Noir grapes. Bottled unfiltered and contains lees – pour off slowly or invert to evenly distribute.
Proud to introduce a bottle of bubbles that's 10 years in the making! This sparkling wine was crafted in the traditional Champagne method, using 60% estate Chardonnay and 40% estate Pinot Noir grapes. After a 10 months fermentation in barrel, the wine was bottled in July of 2011 and put to rest for 9 years on its lees. In spring of 2020 the bottles were disgorged and finished with zero dosage, resulting in a dry Brut Nature sparkling wine.
Piquette is a strange creature, an homage to the farm workers of France centuries ago. Workers would take care to not press grapes too hard, understanding that they could take the "waste" grape skins, add a bit of water, a splash of juice, and make a light, refreshing sparkling wine for themselves. Think Pét-Nat meets hard seltzer.
