Julien Altaber L’Écume 2021

Type: Sparkling White
Producer: Julien Altaber
Country: France
Region: Burgundy
Grape: Aligote
Year: 2021
Farming: Organic/Biodynamic

This is the second year that Julien has made this amazing pétillant naturel with a difference. And the difference is that it is made primarily from the Aligoté grape variety which has had an infusion of apricots! Julien puts a large bag of apricots in with the fermenting wine and it develops undertones of the apricots without dominating the resultant sparkling wine.

Undercurrents of apricots carry along notes of bright apples & pears - light flicks of acidity spark over the top in perfect balance.
