Characteristics and Tasting Tips for the Tressallier Brut Nature 2024 from Les Bérioles

Tasting notes

Appearance
The wine displays an elegant effervescence, forming a stream of exceptionally fine bubbles.

Nose
Delicate and wonderfully fresh, the nose releases subtle citrus notes, particularly lemon, harmoniously blended with floral, briny and saline touches.

Palate
The palate captivates with its vibrancy. Carried by a lovely acidic tension and a medium body, this dry sparkling wine unfolds a delicate texture that stretches into a lingering finish, marked by a remarkable saline imprint.

Food and wine pairing

Ideal for elevating an aperitif, this wine also pairs wonderfully with a seafood platter, oysters, shellfish or even grilled white fish.

The Minerality and Freshness of a Sparkling Wine

The estate

Founded in 1989 by Odile and Olivier Teissèdre, Les Bérioles extends over a vineyard of 17 to 18 hectares. Now run by their son, Jean Teissèdre, the estate is distinguished by its deep commitment to respecting living ecosystems. Certified organic since 2019 and moving towards biodynamics, the estate focuses on showcasing local terroirs and indigenous grape varieties through highly precise cuvées, thus becoming a key player in the renewal of its appellation.

The vineyard

This sparkling wine comes from a blend of plots located in the commune of Cesset. The vines, cultivated organically, benefit from a south-east exposure that is ideal for preserving the freshness of the berries. They thrive on clay-limestone soils, which give this Loire cuvée its characteristic tension and mineral signature.

Winemaking and ageing

The hand-harvested grapes, picked into small crates, are followed by rigorous sorting on a table. After cold settling, fermentation takes place at a low temperature to preserve aromatic purity. The Tressallier Brut Nature 2024 is then made using the traditional method, with the second fermentation in bottle and ageing on lees for twelve months. Disgorgement is carried out without any dosage, and bottling takes place at the estate.
