ABOUT THIS WINE

It is made from 100% Sémillon grapes using the Petillant Naturel (PetNat) method, also known as the ancestral method. This involves natural fermentation in the bottle, resulting in a naturally sparkling wine that is unfiltered. The Lateyron family has a long history in the Saint-Emilionnais region, with the current generation, Corinne and Lionel Lateyron, managing the estate. Their vineyards are situated on calcareous soils, contributing to the wine's expression of its terroir. The winery emphasizes a blend of tradition and scientific knowledge in its winemaking approach.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
Lateyron PetLat is produced using the ancestral method, also known as Petillant Naturel (PetNat). This involves natural fermentation with indigenous yeasts, followed by bottling before the primary fermentation is fully complete. The secondary fermentation then occurs within the bottle, creating the wine's natural effervescence. The wine is intentionally unfiltered, which contributes to its characteristic slight cloudiness. The producer, Lateyron SARL, emphasizes organic and sustainable viticultural practices, holding Ecocert accreditation for its secondary fermentation processes. This approach prioritizes minimal intervention to allow the natural character of the Sémillon grapes and the terroir to express themselves.
