2022 Alexis Hudon "La Charge!" Pét-Nat, Loire Valley, France
ABOUT THIS WINE:
a Charge! is a natural sparkling wine made using the Pétillant Naturel (Pét-Nat) method, where fermentation is completed in the bottle, resulting in a naturally occurring effervescence. The wine is crafted from hand-harvested Chenin Blanc grapes, grown on the slopes of the Loire Valley. After fermentation, the wine is bottled without disgorging, leaving a small amount of lees for added complexity and texture. La Charge! is the epitome of the fresh, lively, and fun character that Pét-Nats are known for, while still reflecting the terroir-driven quality of the Loire.
