Domaine Plageoles Gaillac Mauzac Nature Sparkling

This pét-nat is crafted by Robert & Bernard Plageoles from 40-year-old vines grown on clay-limestone soils. It undergoes Gaillacoise vinification, an ancestral method predating Champagne, where fermentation begins in tank and finishes in bottle. The wine is bottled with residual sugar and ferments to dryness, leaving 5–10 g/L of residual sugar and 11.5–12% alcohol. On the palate, expect crisp apple, pear skin, white flowers, and a chalky, saline finish. It’s unfiltered, fermented with indigenous yeast, and showcases the purity and heritage of Gaillac’s sparkling tradition.
