Breton ‘ele est pas bulle, la vie?’ Chenin Pet Nat (2019)* Cult Wine

$47 in a mixed six using the code 6OFF6

This is a classic Vouvray methode with the base wine coming from the 2016 vintage. Described on the label as a pet nat, it’s better referred to as Ancestrale, it’s fermented in bottle and aged before release. It’s a stunning, bright, fun, complex wine with lots of peach and citrus and just enough sweetness (10g/l) to show off the fruit.

*When we feature the year at the end of the wine, in parenthesis this indicates a bottling date rather than a vintage.
