Les Capriades, Pet-Sec Blanc Methode Ancestrale 2022

100% Chardonnay

Loire Valley, France

From vines averaging 30 to 70 years old. The wine is produced without any dosage or sulfites using the ancestral method. A Zork closure is used, which is essential for ensuring the wine is as fresh as possible. On the nose, it offers aromas of white fruit, citrus, and floral notes. On the palate, it is fresh and mineral with good complexity.

Pascal Potaire worked for others for much of his winemaking life; for Noëlla Morantin in the Touraine and for Nicolas Renard in Vouvray. He began his own label in the early 2000s, and was joined by his good friend and business partner Moses in 2011. Obsessed with balance, low alcohol, and high acidity, his mission became to bring the elegance and finesse of great Champagne to the world of naturally fermented sparkling wine. Happiest in the cellar, Pascal can be found daily monitoring his juice and maintaining his impeccable cellar, the quotidian tasks that make Les Capriades the pinnacle for méthode ancestrale sparkling wines.
