Saumur Brut Nature 2019 Château Yvonne

Overview

With the 'Métode Ancestrale' no extra yeast is added, but the yeast already present in the wine (along with the sugar) coming from the grapes is used to form the bubbles. It is therefore a single fermentation which takes place partially in the tank and then continues in the bottle.
