La Cave Se Rebiffe Pet Nat Rose Frantz Saumon 2018/19

La Cave Se Rebiffe Pet Nat Rosé Frantz Saumon, Gamay blend, vibrant, cherries, delightful Natural pink fizz! This fabulous little Petillant Naturel is made from Gamay, Cot and Grolleau grown near Montlouis. It's a lovely salmon pink - vibrant cherry and raspberry flavours, with refreshing acidity and lovely light bubbles which make it almost too easy to forget it's alcoholic. Drink for an aperitif in the sun with little salmon blinis and other vol-au-vents.

Frantz Saumon used to be a forester in both Canada and France for several years. In 2001 he decided to take over a small three hectare property in Montlouis near Tours. Frantz is non-interventionist and works without chemicals in the vineyards. The winery is an underground cellar carved into the tuffeau, the ubiquitous fossil-rich clay of the region, and all the wines are vinified in barrels (some 228l, some 400l) only with the indigenous yeasts.
