WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Sandrine Henriot PetNat Bubulle is produced using natural winemaking methods. Fermentation is carried out with wild yeasts, and for this Pétillant Naturel, a single fermentation process occurs, with the secondary fermentation taking place in the bottle to create natural carbonation. Grapes are handled gently to preserve fruit purity, and minimal sulfur dioxide is used, typically only at bottling. Aging usually takes place in stainless steel tanks or amphorae. The estate employs biodynamic and organic farming practices, including manual harvesting, horse-drawn plowing, and the use of plant-based treatments. Some vines on the 3.3-hectare estate are over 60 years old.
