What is Pet Nat?
The term Pet Nat is short for “pétillant naturel” (natural sparkling wine), a winemaking method that is much older than that used for champagne. Unlike the traditional method, Pet Nat ferments in the bottle without the addition of sugar or yeast. There is no second artificial fermentation: the magic happens naturally. Fermentation begins in vats, then, before it is completely finished, the wine is bottled. This is where the carbon dioxide, trapped by the airtight seal, gives rise to a fine, sometimes playful effervescence.
Raw and lively expertise
Pet Nat perfectly embodies the spirit of natural wine: minimal intervention, zero additives, no industrial yeasts, and very often no added sulfur. Each bottle tells a different story: that of a terroir and a winemaker.
At Cave Pur Jus, these sparkling wines are not chosen at random. Each cuvée is selected after a team tasting, and when we like it, it is often because it reflects a shared passion for living wine.
