AOC Gaillac La Croix des Marchands Grape varieties: 100% Mauzac Harvest and vinification : The “Methode Ancestrale” is a sparkling wine production method using yeasts and sugars of the grapes only, as opposed to the "Traditional Method" (Champagne, Cava, Prosecco,…) approach where selected sugar and yeast is added. The first fermentation is slowed down and paused by the cold, retaining a sufficient sugar content. The second fermentation in the bottle, which generates carbon dioxide bubbles in the wine, is practiced using only sugar that remained after the first fermentation. Soil : Clay-gravel Tasting notes: Pale yellow color with green sheen and intense nose of pear and medlar. Fine and elegant foam, beautiful acidulous and fruity expression. Wine combining freshness, roundness and the typical pear and apple notes of the Mauzac grape variety #gaillac #sparklingwine #frenchwine #winetastings #cafaformations #sommelierlifestyle (at Cafa Formation) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5iV-w1KBhW/?igshid=5m64llm9yyvg
