Fun and not entirely frivolous! 11% alc. Wild yeasts. Minimal sulphur (15 mg/l). Drink now-2030

Petillant Naturel
Also called méthode ancestrale (the original, pre-Champagne method), it involves only one continuous fermentation that completes in the bottle without added sugar or yeast, so there is no dosage.
