Domaine Philippe Tessier Pet-Nat Phil En Bulle NV NO WINE SEARCHER PALATE: floral with brown bakingThis is the only sparkling wine the Tessiers make, and they make it from two grapes almost nobody has heard of: Romorantin and Menu Pineau, both Loire natives. Methode ancestrale means a single fermentation that finishes in the bottle and here, remarkably, without any added sulfur at all. What separates it from the pet nat crowd is the time it spends resting on its lees before disgorgement, which gives real density under the fizz instead of just froth
