Description
Domaine Maupertuis sits in the commune of Saint-Georges-sur-Allier and La Roche Noir in Auvergne on slopes with volcanic and clay soils, growing local variety Gamay dAuvergne the more rustic, peppery native version of Gamay. Chardonnay and Pinot Noir are also grown in small amounts in the vineyards. Most of Jean Maupertuis wines are grown on old vines, ranging from 40-100 years of age. Taking a natural wine education from one of the leading fathers of natural wine, Marcel Lapierre, Jean started adopting natural wine practices planting on alternate rows from year to year and allowing wild flowers and grass to grow in the unoccupied rows, using no chemical interventions whilst growing, bottling with no fining or filtration, adding no sulphur at all to the wine and using natural fermentation methods.
This delicate pink pet nat has classicaromas of strawberry and white flowers, whilst the limestone rich soils impart a certain flinty quality which balances the flavours and really develops the complexity.
