Petillant Naturel, aka “Pet Nat,” is a traditional method of producing sparkling wine where the wine is bottled prior to the completion of primary fermentation without adding additional sugar and the fermentation finishes in the bottle. No disgorgement and no dosage they are cloudy and have extra yeasty flavors. Here are two we currently have at the shop.
Moutard, Pet Mout $14
Chardonnay
Made by our best selling Champagne maker Motard. The Pet Mout has fine bubbles. The aromas of citrus fruits, floral and mineral go very well with freshness and elegance in mouth in addition to an acidity which allows balance between aromatic power and softness. Fun summer wine.
