WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Bulle Nature Pétillant Naturel is produced using the ancestral method, also known as Pétillant Naturel. This involves bottling the wine before the primary fermentation is fully complete, allowing the remaining sugars and yeasts to ferment in the bottle, creating natural effervescence. The grapes are farmed using organic and biodynamic principles. The 'NON DOS' philosophy guides the winemaking, meaning no dosage is added to the wine. Fermentation typically occurs in stainless steel tanks before bottling. Aging is generally kept minimal to preserve the wine's freshness and natural character.
