Collection: Champagnes - Crémants & Pet Nats
This category brings together three exquisite types of sparkling wines, each with their unique production methods and flavor profiles.
1. **Pet-Nat (Pétillant Naturel)**: This traditional and natural method of sparkling wine production, also known as "Method Ancestrale", involves a single fermentation that is stopped before bottling. The result is an often cloudy, lively and less predictable sparkling wine that features a diverse range of flavors. Pet-Nats are known for their rustic elegance and offer a uniquely authentic taste experience.
2. **Crémant**: Crémants are fine sparkling wines made outside the Champagne region of France, such as in the Loire, Alsace, Burgundy and other regions. They are made using the "Method Traditionnelle", which is similar to Champagne production but often with a wider range of grape varieties. Crémants offer a fine bubble and elegant complexity that make them a charming alternative to Champagne.
3. **Champagne**: The king of sparkling wines, made exclusively in the Champagne region of France. Champagne is crafted according to strict regulations that include the "Method Champenoise" (also known as "Method Traditionnelle"), a second fermentation in the bottle that gives the wine its characteristic finesse and complexity. Champagne is known worldwide for its prestigious image, delicate bubbles and balanced, sophisticated aroma.
This category offers a fascinating journey through the world of fine sparkling wines, from rustic, natural versions to the heights of sophisticated elegance. Ideal for connoisseurs and those who want to explore the diversity and charm of sparkling wines.
