Alexandre Giquel Mecanique des Fluides shows the true potential of bubbles and Chenin Blanc. This pet nat is like experiencing a fluid mechanic at work – so smooth, so delicious!
Grape Varietals & Region: 100% Chenin Blanc. The fruit comes from vines grown in the Loire using natural farming methods such as horses to plow the fields. The vines grow in clay soils with silex, a subsoil of Tuffeau.
Taste Profile: Beautiful creamy & some of the finest effervescence you will find in a pet nat. Very clean toasty buttery notes on the nose, with elegant lemon & grapefruit notes on the palatte. Gentle yet clean & fresh.
Winemaking Process: Made using the pétillant naturel method. Ages for 3 years on lees.
