Le Propriétaire Methode Ancestrale Sparkling Wine
Le Propriétaire is a crisp and fruity sparkling wine with low alcohol (6%)
and a delicate sweetness. The taste is very crisp and fruity due to a balance of
good acidity. It sparkles with a delicate natural sweetness.
- Soil Type:
- Heavy clay.
- Climate:
- Oceanic - tempered by the Mediterranean.
- Harvest:
- Hand picked in late fall.
- Vinification:
- The entire harvest is pneumatically pressed. The juice is clarified by
cold treatment and the must is then fermented until only 100 g./L. of sugar
remains. At this point fermentation is halted by drawing off the juice and
putting it through several filtration processes. The partially fermented
must is then bottled and a second commences due to an increase in the
surrounding temperature. Once a perfect balance of pressure, alcohol, and
sugar is achieved the fermentation is stopped completely by another cold
treatment and the bottles are disgorged.
- Color:
- Pale yellow. New technology and treatments have enabled us to produce a
clear wine while still embracing the original Méthode Ancestrale (though
occasionally some natural sediment may appear).
- Nose:
- Reinette apples and pears.
- Taste:
- Fresh pears and green apples.
- Tips:
- Serve cool as you would a Champagne. Serve as an apéritif or as a dessert
wine. We suggest fresh fruit, flan, or light tarts. A great palate cleanser
at a formal dinner or a perfect summer sipper. Truly refreshing at any time
of the day.
- Analysis:
- Acidity: 4.5 g./L.
Residual Sugar: 7.0% by volume.
Alcohol: 6.0% by volume.
