Andréa Calek
A natural sparkling wine, fresh and joyful, with notes of pear, hazelnut, white flowers... Palate: lively and sapid bubble, long finish with a hint of candied lemon.

A blend of 90% Chardonnay and 10% Viognier, both grape varieties come from organically grown vines, planted on clay-limestone soils and manually harvested. Natural vinification and without inputs: direct pressing, start of fermentation in vats, bottled with residual sugars to create the effervescence in bottle. A bit more than one year of aging on laths, disgorged on the 23rd of November 2023. No fining, no filtration, no added sulfites.
