The Elegance of a Sparkling Wine from Clay-Limestone Terroirs

The estate

Founded in 1976 by Olivier Teissèdre, Les Bérioles was initially devoted to growing cereals before turning to viticulture in 1989. Spurred on by his wife Odile, they planted their first vines and gradually developed 15 hectares. In 2011, their son Jean joined the family estate, followed in 2015 by Sophie and Jérôme Roux. The estate, certified organic since 2019, is also committed to biodynamics and has diversified its activities with the production of organic flours.

The vineyard

Tressallier Brut Nature is a sparkling wine made from a blend of plots located in Cesset, benefiting from a south-easterly exposure ideal for ripening the grapes. The clay-limestone soil of this terroir gives the wines beautiful minerality and an elegant freshness.

Vinification and ageing

Harvested by hand, the grapes are meticulously sorted on a table before vinification. After cold settling, fermentation is carried out at a low temperature to preserve the freshness of the aromas. The secondary fermentation follows the traditional method, followed by 12 to 24 months of bottle ageing to refine the bubbles. Disgorgement is carried out without the addition of dosage liqueur, giving this wine its brut nature character.

Grape variety

100% Tressallier, a rare indigenous grape variety.
