La Bulle de Facteur is a pétillant naturel made from 100% Chenin Blanc grown on clay and limestone soils in the Noizay commune of Vouvray, Loire Valley. The vines average 90 years old and are farmed organically with biodynamic preparations. Land is plowed by horse and grapes are harvested by hand.
The wine is direct pressed and fermented spontaneously with indigenous yeasts in 400-litre barrels. After 12 months in barriques, it is bottled before fermentation completes, allowing the second fermentation to finish in bottle via méthode ancestrale — with no added yeast, no added sugar, no fining, and no filtration. Zero SO2 added.
Because the méthode ancestrale process does not conform to Vouvray AOC sparkling wine regulations, this wine is classified as Vin de France. It is the natural and lower-intervention label of Fabien Brutout and Mathieu Cosme, whose family domaine (Domaine de Beaumont) is one of the estates revitalizing Vouvray's sparkling wine category.
Expect a pale straw color with lively fine bubbles, a fragrant nose of apple, pear, citrus, and yellow flowers, and a mineral, wet-stone undercurrent that reflects the tuffeau and clay-limestone subsoils. Residual sugar is below 1 g/L — fully dry.
