Le Safre - 2020 - Aurélien Houillon

100% Grenache Noir from 40- to 50-year-old vines, farmed organically and planted on red soils with pebbles. The grapes are harvested by hand. Vinification: whole grape bunches are macerated for two weeks, followed by gentle pressing, maturation in stainless steel vats, and the addition of 4 bars of CO2 in the vat to create the bubbles (unlike a pét-nat or natural sparkling wine, here the effervescence is created in the vat, using the Charmat method). Bottled on the 7th of June 2021, without fining or filtration, and without added sulphites.
