In our profession as winemakers, it is essential to taste often, and particularly the wines of other winemakers

It allows us to sharpen our critical eye and identify avenues for improvement for our future cuvées. Last week, we tasted 6 Pét-Nats from all over France. Highly instructive in the contrast of styles. And we preferred those with moderate alcohol levels, boasting a gentle, refreshing sparkle. For this year’s Pét-Nat, we will therefore stick to a low level of residual sugar before bottling. This proved successful with Gaz’bonne. We shall continue along this path, fine-tuning a few details.
