Domaine Plageoles Gaillac Mauzac Nature Sparkling 2020, Southwest France. From organic Mauzac vines on clay-limestone slopes in Gaillac – masters of méthode ancestrale since the 1500s – this Domaine Plageoles Gaillac Mauzac Nature Sparkling 2020 captivates with pale straw hues, delicate bubbles and aromas of crisp green apple, pear, citrus and subtle cider musk.

Slightly off-dry with pillowy texture, sweet pear and orchard fruit dance across a fragrant, textural palate balanced by floral acidity and toasty complexity, finishing refreshingly thirst-quenching – the original pét-nat legend reborn. Aperitifs, oysters or goat cheese crostini find pure bliss; pop this historic fizz for joyous celebration.
