About the Wine
We’re very happy to have received a handful of Domaine Dandelion’s beautiful Pét Nat. A glorious ‘blanc de noir’ of Gamay and Pinot Noir, as always this sparkler is delicate and textured with a chalky minerality and wonderful balance.
Made with grapes coming from one of Morgane and Christian’s top sites, high in the commune of Volnay where they have been farming since 2018. Surrounded by forest, the site is co-planted with Pinot Noir and Gamay over rocky white limestone and red clay. A cooler site with great minerality, this is the perfect spot for Pét Nat destined grapes to grow. The grapes are hand-harvested, pressed directly and bottled a month later where fermentation completes in bottle. The wine is left undisgorged, giving it a wonderfully inviting sandy haze.
About Domaine Dandelion
Morgane & Christian are a couple working just over 2 hectares of vines around the Beaune to produce a mere 5000 bottles a year of pure, bright and singular Burgundy. Christian is Australian and met Morgane, a native Burgundian, whilst manning his espresso cart at a market in Beaune. They work their vineyards according biodynamic principles and we think it's fair to say that they could be the only growers in our shop who spray their vines with raw milk rather than chemical herbicides or pesticides. The resulting wine is delicate, nuanced and a real find considering how difficult it can be for small scale vignerons to exist in this part of France with the price of land being so high. Needless to say we have just a handful of bottles.
