Le Grand Verdus Les Petits Bulles Pet-Nat Blanc de Noir

Winemaker Le Grand Verdus on the winery

“We are Château Le Grand Verdus, a family estate in the Bordeaux region, passionate about making wines that express their origins. For us, good wine begins with careful attention in the vineyard: we select the harvest date precisely and adapt our winemaking to the character of each wine. Alongside our classic Bordeaux wines, we also create more unconventional cuvées in which enjoyment and freedom take centre stage. We like to combine tradition with a fresh perspective rather than follow fixed recipes. This allows us to express the versatility of our vineyards in different ways.”

And on Bordeaux, France

“Our Les Petites Bulles comes from Bordeaux and is made from 50% Cabernet Franc and 50% Merlot. Both are red grape varieties, making this a true Blanc de Noirs: literally, a white wine made from black grapes. By pressing the grapes directly, we limit the extraction of colour and tannins from the skins, keeping the juice light in colour. We bottle the wine before fermentation is complete, allowing it to finish fermenting in the bottle and develop its natural bubbles. The result is a playful, uncomplicated sparkling wine that puts freshness and easy drinking first. It is ideal as an aperitif or for sharing with friends.”
