Domaine de la Touraize Les Dix Bulles Petillant Naturel 2018 (Preservative Free)

Tasting Notes

70/30 Pinot Noir/Trousseau from 30 year old vines. Grapes pressed as whole bunches and colour is only extracted in this process over 3-4 hours. Juice is allowed to settle for 24 hours in stainless steel tanks. Fermentation kicks off with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel tanks, for 2-3 days, before being transferred to bottles to complete fermentation. Whiffs of strawberries and cream, cherries, nectarines and very faint musk stick. Clean breeze in a cold chilly wind. On impact, super fine, sharp bubbles bead across the palate, instantly waking you up, sparking delight. Very delicate hints of sweetness get reigned back into line as the mild acidity streams in, exhibiting perfect balance and harmony. Very fresh and lively, very satisfying. This has the most sugar of the 3 pet-nats listed, but it is still mild, and still in perfect balance. - Importer Note
