Bertrand, a former soldier, and Lise, a trained sommelier, moved to Montlouis-sur-Loire in 2003. Their 11-hectare estate has vineyards ranging between 30 and 130 years of age. So delicate and fragile are their vineyards and terroir, and so committed are they to natural farming and winemaking, that like many in the Loire, the Joussets have seen many of the last vintages fail. As a result, they have resourcefully decided to make a few wines from grapes bought from other areas and regions, even as far away as Gaillac in the South West.

 

Toasty aromas of red currant and raspberry with creamy red fruits on the palate balanced with bracing acidity. The finish is clean, refreshing and long - a perfect Pet Nat for any special or everyday occasion!
