Pet Nat 'Waz-K' Clos Troteligotte 2023

The 'Waz-K' Pét-Nat from the French Domaine Clos Troteligotte is a dynamic and light-hearted expression made using the Ancestral Method technique. This wine cellar is managed by Emmanuel Rybinski, a young producer of Polish origin and one of the most appreciated in the Cahors area, who passionately cultivates 19 hectares of vineyards surrounded by no less than 15 hectares of forests in a context of great biodiversity. The name 'Waz-K' comes from the mispronunciation of the Polish word 'wazka', meaning 'dragonfly', an animal depicted on the label.

Clos Troteligotte 'Waz-K' Pét-Nat is made from a blend of Chardonnay (70%), Sauvignon Blanc (15%) and Viognier (15%), varieties rooted in the clay- and limestone-rich soils of Quercy Blanc known as 'stampien'. The vines are approximately 15 years old and are organically and biodynamically certified. After being harvested by hand, the grapes are gently pressed directly, with the must thus obtained undergoing spontaneous alcoholic fermentation in steel tanks. Subsequently, the mass is placed in the bottle with still some of the sugars to be transformed to achieve the prise de mousse per the Anchestral Method. Manual disgorgement is carried out after a short maturing on the lees in the bottle, and no sulphites are added during the entire process.

Pét-Nat 'Waz-K' Clos Troteligotte has a brilliant straw yellow colour. Light and delicate on the nose, characterised by hints of yellow-fleshed fruit and citrus fruits that blend with mineral and white flower aromas. In the mouth, it is dry, agile and drinkable, with remarkable freshness and a harmonious citrusy and savoury finish. Due to its intrinsic characteristics, this sparkling wine is an ideal refreshing summer drink.
