Bitter Pops® Pierre & Antonin la Gourdoline Sparkling Petillant Rose France 750ml – 8414578442484

• Bottling ∼ The wine undergoing fermentation is then bottled without sugar, inputs or sulphites (of which there is still unconsumed sugar), then with heat, alcoholic fermentation resumes in the bottle (the remaining sugar is therefore consumed ) and the carbon dioxide will no longer be able to escape, giving rise to the effervescence of the Pet Nat.
• Disgorging or not ∼ When fermentation is finished, a deposit of dead yeast accumulates at the bottom of the bottle creating a slight cloudiness (burbidity). This will either be expelled, a step called disgorging, or left as is, participating in the development of unique aromas and providing complexity and texture.

• Resistance ∼ A resistant grape variety is a cross between a European vine with recognized oenological qualities and a wild vine originating from the Americas or Asia, resistant to diseases. It is a natural cross resulting from manual pollination (Pistil-Etamine) as natural as Syrah is the result of the marriage between Mondeuse and Durezat. This mixture with a wild vine, naturally resistant, allows the plant to be immunized against the two worst enemies of the vine: Powdery mildew and Downy mildew. In addition, it requires up to fourteen times less processing than organic farming – which therefore allows for considerable savings in energy, water and labor, as well as a greatly reduced carbon footprint.
• Natural ∼ With such healthy organic grapes, we decided to vinify them with indigenous yeasts and not add any inputs or sulphites throughout the process.
• Virtuous ∼ We had to be as virtuous as the content so we opted for eco-designed packaging: naturally waxed instead of being encapsulated with aluminum – sealed with 100% French cork made in our forests in Roussillon – Lightweight bottle (395g) made in Albi less than eighty km from the vineyard – Label made from recycled alternative fibers.
