The ancestral method chosen by Céline and Benoit Blet uses fully ripe Chenin Blanc grapes, resulting in a less austere aromatic experience than with a traditional method. This choice allows them to create a naturally sparkling wine with rich and balanced flavors. The wine's clarity and fine bubbles form a harmonious whole, adding an approachable and refined dimension that rivals higher-end sparkling wines. A perfect choice for lovers of characterful wines.
