Vin de France Pétillant Naturel Marrans (Domaine des) 2024

This pét-nat is made from Chardonnay vines grown on Beaujolais granite soils. The steep slopes, rooted at around 300 metres in altitude, lend the grapes lively acidity and floral aromatics. In the winery, the fruit undergoes gentle pressing to extract clear juice. Fermentation is completed in bottle, giving the wine a touch of residual sweetness and a fine, delicate mousse. The wine is then aged on its lees in bottle.
The pale hue, lightly tinged with salmon pink, is typical of a Blancs de Noirs style. The aromatic nose reveals layered notes of strawberry, raspberry, rhubarb, candied citrus and flowers, lifted by subtle brioche nuances. On the palate, the wine is lively and refreshing, showing a fine balance of fresh fruit flavours and crisp acidity. The finish is clean and gently tangy, leaving a fresh, thirst-quenching impression.
