Description

Marc Delienne Le Petit Nat

Marc Delienne Le Petit Nat is a light, refreshing and very approachable wine. Pale pink in the glass. Lots of delicate fruity aromas ranging from pink apples and bosc pear to citrus hints and subtle cinnamon spice. The lightweight palate has a high acidity that makes the wine extremely refreshing. Flavours of delicate pink flowers, dried apricot, blood orange and grapefruit mingle with spicy hints.

100% Gamay. The fruit comes from 40–80-year-old vines by Fleurie-based producer Marc Delienne.

Manual harvest in small crates, sorting in the cellar. Next is a pressing before vinification with natural yeasts in concrete.

Berries & Cream Sparklings

Red fruit and bubbles, ranging from light and fruity pink Moscato, to vintage rosé Champagne and sparkling Shiraz

Ancestral Method

Also known as Petillant Naturel, it's the oldest version of sparkling wine making, and involves bottling the wine before fermentation has finished. A single fermentation is applied, trapping carbon dioxide to create natural carbonation.
This results in a little less control, and wines can sometimes come across a less refined compare to the traditional champagne method, and sometimes tends to have a slightly more beer-ish or cider-ish taste
