NV Château Peybonhomme Les Tours Pet-Nat "L'Amour Du Risque", Bordeaux, France
Contrary to the Champagne method which consists in making foam to add to a liqueur in wine, the sparkling is done only with the residual sugars of the grape. This gives a very fine bubble, the nose is particularly fresh, accompanied by notes of crisp apple and white peach. A slightly richer alternative to champagnes and crémants.
There are 13 units left in stock.
ABOUT THIS WINE
Organic and biodynamic since 2000. Double Guyot pruning, spontaneous winter grass cover. Soil tillage during the spring, every other row ploughed. Treatments combining small quantities of Bordeaux mixture with herbal teas such as horsetail or nettle.
100% Cabernet Franc. Manual harvest in crates in the morning very early to preserve freshness, the afternoon is devoted to gently pressing the grapes. Fermentation at low temperature indigenous yeasts from the estate. Bottled with residual sugars. After fermentation, the wine is disgorged in order to remove most of the natural deposit.
ABOUT THIS PRODUCER
The Hubert family settled at Château Peybonhomme-Les-Tours in the village of Cars near Blaye in 1895, and six generations have followed since.
The estate is located on a hill overlooking the estuary, with the vineyards on the slopes. From its 17th-century castellated tower, we have a spectacular panoramic view of the entire estate and the Gironde estuary.
