2023 Chantereves Matsuri Pet Nat

Second vintage of this boisterous, delicious sparkling. from the A blend of Gamay and Aligot.

From the domaine:

It is a blend of our Gamay situated in Fussey and an early harvest of Aligot from 4 parcels in the Hautes Ctes.
In order to have good concentration in our single vineyard Aligots, 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 Aligot 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 Ardche.
We bottled when the residual sugar measured 9.5g/ liter. The pink color comes
from the Flottaison of Gamay in the Aligot 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 fermentation
and so is a little cloudy. With 11.5 alcohol, its very quaffable! The flottaison
maceration of Gamay makes a very fruity and enjoyable wine. Please serve chilled.
