le pet-nat,
wine that sparkles... naturally.
Natural wine at its most festive!
The most natural way to blow bubbles
Our Pét-Nat products are made using an ancient, natural method known as méthode ancestrale. There’s no artificial second fermentation or addition of gas. Everything begins with a single alcoholic fermentation, initiated in the vat by indigenous yeasts naturally present in the environment.
Once fermentation is well underway, we stop it cold, then bottle the wine while it still contains natural sugar. Under the effect of heat, the yeasts wake up, consume the remaining sugar and restart fermentation… but this time in the bottle.
And that’s where the magic happens: the carbon dioxide produced can no longer escape. It remains trapped in the bottle, creating the characteristic effervescence of our Pét-Nat. The result? A natural, lively, thirst-quenching sparkling wine with no additives: no sugars, no sulfites, no inputs.
With or without disgorging?
At the end of fermentation, a natural deposit of dead yeast forms at the bottom of the bottle (known as burbidity).
This deposit can be expelled by disgorging, or left as is to preserve all the aromatic richness and unique texture of the wine.
TASTING NOTES
Pét-Nat Vivant: An ultra-quenching white with a foam reminiscent of a craft beer. Nose of white flowers, white peach and citrus fruit.
Pét-Nat Vigne Sauvage: A vibrant, fruity rosé with a naturally veiled pale pink color. Nose of wild strawberries and red berries. Fine bubbles, tender texture, slightly saline finish.

The wines
a family of resistance fighters
A resistant grape variety is a cross between a local vine with recognized oenological aptitudes and
a disease-resistant wild vine native to the Americas.
up to 15 times Fewer treatments
Fewer products, less water, less time spent in the vineyard… and therefore less impact on the planet.Cleaner, simpler, more resilient viticulture in the face of climate change.
pollination manual
This natural crossbreeding is achieved by hand pollination (no genetic manipulation here!). Just as Syrah is born of a marriage between two ancient grape varieties.
Resistant to the worst diseases
The result of a natural cross between a European vine (well known for its oenological qualities) and a wild American vine, naturally immune to the main vine diseases: powdery mildew and downy mildew.

Understanding our wines
What exactly is a resistant grape variety?
A resistant grape variety is a natural cross resulting from manual pollination between a European vine (Vitis Vinifera) with recognized oenological aptitudes and a wild American vine (Vitis Rupestris) resistant to the diseases powdery mildew and downy mildew. A kind of super-organic!
Do you add sulfites or other inputs to your cuvées?
No. All our wines are vinified with indigenous yeasts, naturally present in the grapes. This is easy to do with our resistant grape varieties, as they are rarely treated and their natural yeasts are thus preserved.
So we don’t need to add any inputs. The natural acidity of our resistant grape varieties, combined with meticulous cellar management, means we can avoid adding sulfites to our wines.
What's the difference between a natural wine and an organic wine?
Organic wine complies with precise viticultural specifications, but still allows certain inputs during vinification.
Natural wine, on the other hand, goes one step further: it is organic and no additives are used during vinification.
Is your packaging really eco-responsible?
Yes, 100%. We use:
The lightest bottle on the market (370 g), made less than 80 km from the vineyard.
French cork, from forests in Roussillon.
Natural wax, instead of aluminum capsules.
Labels made from recycled fibers (sugar cane, hemp, flax).
Even our cardboard boxes are recycled!
