Vincent Caillé X Bulles NV
Pays Nantais, Loire, FranceA singular pet-nat from the iconic Vincent Caillé, fifth generation vingneron and one of the few organic producers in Pais Nantais. Vincent took over the family business in 1986, and the property became "organic" in 1996. This ancestral fizz perfectly captures melon's youthful and innocent charm. This epitomizes pretty and fragrant pear blossom and rosewater carried along a fine zip line of green apple acidity and a fine bubble to a snappy, mineral water finish. At 11 percent alcohol, this defines smashable. This grape is perfectly suited to this style.Tasted: 13 September 2017Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:BC | $24.00 | 750ml | private wine shops |
