2022 Martin Texier Pet-Nat Petite Nature
This pétillant naturel is produced by Martin Texier using traditional natural winemaking methods aimed at reviving local practices. The wine is crafted primarily from Muscat à Petits Grains (often referred to as Muscat Petit Grain), with some expressions incorporating Chasselas Rose and a blend of selected table grape varieties. Grapes are directly pressed and the must is fermented in stainless steel with wild yeasts; secondary fermentation is then initiated in the bottle by adding 15 g/L of residual sugar. The wine is unfined and unfiltered, reflecting an authentic, minimal‐intervention approach to natural sparkling wine production.

Fermentation
Primary fermentation is conducted naturally with native/wild yeasts in stainless steel vessels and without added sulfur. A residual sugar level of 15 g/L is used to trigger secondary fermentation in bottle following the Petillant Naturel process, a non-interventionist method that imparts a slight graininess and a touch of ferment.
Aging
Secondary fermentation occurs in the bottle; the product is unfined and unfiltered.
