No Pressure Sparkling White 2021

Sans Pression Sparkling White 2021

Domaine Bois Moisset

No pressure, no constraints, no stress, but always good press, vinified to perfection and with precision. This is the lesson Bois-Moisset offers us through this natural sparkling white made from Mauzac (80%), Sauvignon Blanc, and Loin-de-l'Oeil grapes totaling the remaining 20%. The color is cloudy with straw nuances. With a touch of yeast and vanilla that adds to its lightness, it offers notes of white fruits (apple, pear, white peach), warmed grass, and red fruits on the palate (strawberry, raspberry). A touch cider, it is an aromatic and tasty sparkling white wine, a sparkling pleasure that is obviously suitable for festive occasions but which also deserves to be savored without occasion, pretext or excuse.

The name of Gaillac, the region where the Bois-Moisset estate is located, in the hands of Sylvie Ledran and Philippe Maffre, has been associated with wines since Antiquity; it is the oldest vineyard in France, with two thousand years of history and an impressive ampelothèque of ancient indigenous grape varieties. It is also a region of dazzling beauty, nicknamed "French Tuscany" because of its gentle hills planted with groves and its almost Florentine luminosity. Many estates, along with that of Bois-Moisset, showcase this uniquely rich winemaking heritage. Along with a vineyard, this is an organic mixed farm that sells its lentil, sunflower oil, cereal flour, and grape juice directly. A herd of old local breed cows also thrives there, and guest rooms are available during the summer months. It is in this small rural paradise that natural wines typical of their origin and terroir are born, on fifteen hectares of boulbènes, gravelly and sandy-loam soils carried by the Tarn for thousands of years. The grape varieties are dominated by Syrah and Duras, but the ampelographic richness of the Gaillac region (braucol, prunelart, loin-de-l'œil, etc.) is also evident in the Bois-Moisset estate's vintages, which consist particularly of red wines with crisp fruit, concentrated but with smooth and delicate tannins.
