Cellar
I.
An emblematic single vineyard of the estate, on clay-limestone soils rich in flint at the foot of Puy Notre-Dame. Old vines planted in the 1970s, farmed under certified Biodyvin biodynamics. The flint gives the wines a rare mineral, saline tension.

Au cep
A plot of Grolleau Gris, a rare grape typical of the Saumur area. Vinified at the estate with skin maceration, this variety produces a singular orange wine, amber and textured. A rare, signature expression of the estate.

Winemaker's note
Pet'nat is all about getting back to basics. No additives, no disgorging, just the wine and its natural fizz. This cuvée sparkles like we sparkle at the end of a long lunch – lightly, joyfully, unpretentiously. A wine to share.
