The terroir

Enchentoir

Parcelle Enchentoir — Manoir de la Tête Rouge biodynamie Saumur

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.

The terroir

Pineau d'Aunis plot

Parcelle Pineau d'Aunis plot — Manoir de la Tête Rouge biodynamie Saumur

A small plot dedicated to Pineau d'Aunis, a rare and historic Loire grape that was nearly lost. Planted to preserve and keep alive this mischievous, naturally peppery variety, vinified with a short maceration to retain its freshness.

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.

Signed Guillaume Reynouard
