The grapes come from a 1.4-hectare vineyard situated at 700 metres above sea level, planted on sandy limestone soils with a high chalk content and farmed according to gentle, low-intervention practices. Fermentation is carried out exclusively with indigenous yeasts in 600-litre barrels, with minimal sulphur additions and no oenological additives. The wine then undergoes a second fermentation in bottle and spends 24 months ageing on its lees. The result is a sparkling wine of remarkable precision, defined by an exceptionally fine and persistent mousse, pronounced chalky minerality, delicate white flowers and vibrant citrus notes.

An awesome balance of freshness and oxidative character, a hint of honey aromas and richness reminiscent of the equally wonderful sparkling wines from the Chenin Blanc variety. Indigene does not want or resemble champagne in any way. The slow second fermentation in the bottle, which can last for over six months, contributes to the complexity of the wine,...
