Sebastien Besson La P'tite Bulle Petillant Naturel (750 ml)

The Sébastien Besson ‘La P’Tite Bulle’ Petillant Natural is a stunning ‘pet-nat’ that comes from the Chardonnay grapes growing on the estate. The limestone soils give gorgeous texture and crispness to the grapes, and going through the Ancestral Method of sparkling production, and the name ‘the small bubbles’ is perfect for this finished bubbly. The grapes are harvested and begin a natural fermentation in stainless steel tanks after a gentle pressing. Once the sugar level gets down to 16 g/l, the fermentation is halted with cold temperatures, is coarsely filtered, and then bottled without any sulfites. The fermentation then continues naturally once the temperature rises again, and the sugars are eaten to basically zero. With the lees still in the bottle, the sparkling pet-nat is ready for consumption for any occasion really. The aromas are fresh, lively with citrus and minerality, and backed up with ready-to-eat apples from-the-tree fragrance. The mouthfeel is lovely, with a creamy and bready mousse, crispy fresh tree fruit juiciness, hints of salinity, and a long finish full of acidity that leads to delicious sip after delicious sip.
