2023 Domaine Giachino Pet Nat 'Giac Bulles'

A blend of certified biodynamic Jacquère and Mondeuse from estate vineyards on the foothill slopes of Mt. Granier in the heart of Chartreuse. Clay, limestone and glacial morraine. Vine age from 25 to 40 years. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel at cold temps. Methode Ancestrale, so fermentation is halted and the wine is bottled and then allowed to finish in bottle. 7 months on lees. No SO2 added. On the nose, the wine opens up with fresh and delicate aromas of white flowers, lemon zest, and pear. As it opens up, it reveals a subtle mineral character that is characteristic of this alpine terroir. Dry, crisp, and refreshing, with a perfect balance between freshness and vinosity. The high acidity of the lean Jacquere grape variety is beautifully balanced with the soft bubbles.The minerality that was hinted at on the nose comes through on the palate, adding an extra layer of complexity and a pleasant lingering finish.
