Lise & Betrand Jousset Éxilé Rosé Pet-Nat 2024

Country: France

Region: Loire

Type: Pet-Nat

Grape: Gamay/Grolleau

Lise and Bertrand Jousset founded their winery in Montlouis-sur-Loire in 2004, trusting their instincts to craft a distinctive wine style. Inspired by various vignerons they visited, they embarked on creating natural wines without direct mentors, drawing inspiration from like-minded winemakers who share their values. The Joussets prioritize a hands-off approach, eschewing additives like yeast, chaptalization, acidification, or enzymes to focus on the intrinsic quality of the grape and emphasize meticulous vineyard work.

This Rosé Pét-nat is made of organically farmed Gamay and Grolleau grapes collected by hand from vines established in 1976 in limestone and clay-flint soils. Dry, delicate  and delicious, with subtle aromas of raspberry, strawberry, rose and citrus. The palate is light and creamy with subtle red fruits, citrus and mineral flavors that continue in the long, clean finish.
