WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Bulle Nature is produced as a Pétillant Naturel, a method involving a single fermentation that starts in tank and completes in the bottle. This process naturally carbonates the wine. The grapes are handled with minimal intervention, and the wine is typically unfined and unfiltered. Sulfite additions are kept to a minimum, with the goal of allowing the inherent characteristics of the grapes and the biodynamic vineyard practices to define the final wine.
