Appellation

Variety

Chenin blanc

Cédric Garreau produces an elusively small quantity of pét-nat from his young vines of Grolleau and Chenin Blanc. Of course, like everything at Garo’vin, these wines are made with native yeasts and nothing added. After 4-6 months of fermentation under crown cap to trap the carbon dioxide, the bottles are disgorged by hand. The combination of short aging and young vines produces vigorous, fruit forward natural wines.
