VDF – Maison Yves Duport – L’Intact Pétillant Naturel – rosé

Description

L’Intact is a Pétillant Naturel (Pét-Nat) from the Buget, an artisanal sparkling wine made by Maison Yves Duport in keeping with the winemaking traditions of the Jura. This cuvée showcases the authenticity and typicity of the Buget terroir, a region renowned for its ideal conditions for producing high-quality sparkling wines. By choosing the ancestral method, Yves Duport produces a wine that is both natural and pure, with no added sugar or dosage, ensuring an authentic product that respects the terroir and the expression of the grape variety.

Winemaking Process

Pétillant Naturel L’Intact is made from rigorously selected, hand-harvested grapes. The cuvée is fermented in bottle without added sugar, yeast or sulphur, allowing the wine to retain its pure, natural character. This ancestral method consists of stopping the fermentation before it is completely finished, thus capturing the carbon dioxide naturally produced by the fermentation, which will give the wine its fine, natural mousse.

The grape variety used in this cuvée is mainly Chardonnay, which gives the wine great finesse and freshness, typical of the finest Pét-Nats from the Jura. The wine is aged on its lees, which brings complexity and a creamy texture while preserving a vibrant freshness.

Aromatic Profile

L’Intact is a refreshing, fruity Pétillant Naturel, with delicate bubbles carrying aromas of fresh fruit such as apple, pear and a touch of white peach. The wine also reveals subtle floral notes, combined with a marked minerality, which makes it particularly pleasant on the palate. On the palate, the attack is lively and pure, with a creamy texture accompanying an elegant length.

Tasting

This Pétillant Naturel stands out for its perfect balance between freshness and softness. Its low residual sugar (as it is undosed) and its natural character make it a very versatile wine. Ideal as an aperitif, it goes wonderfully with goat’s cheeses, savoury tarts or light dishes based on fish or seafood. It also pairs perfectly with sushi or fresh salads.

Conclusion

The Pétillant Naturel du Buget – L’Intact is an authentic wine that expresses all the richness of the Buget terroir and the expertise of Yves Duport. Both refreshing and complex, this Pét-Nat will delight lovers of natural sparkling wines looking for a pure, original and elegant product. An ideal choice for those seeking a different kind of sparkling wine, respectful of the environment and of tradition.
