Pét-nats are usually fun sparklers so I’m glad Alko finally got one. It is from Domaine Le Roc in Fronton and is made from the local grape, Négrette. And best of all, since it’s good, it comes in a magnum.
Domaine Le Roc Roc’Ambulle – 9% abv; 14 g/l RS; c.37€ for a magnum
Quite a dark pink colour. Lovely aromas: a bit stinky and earthy but with fun pure red berry aromas. Gentle sweetness on the palate but lots of fun and juicy and refreshing fruit. I think the point of these pét-nats is not to analyse them deeply but to drink copiously and enjoy something truly fun. So I’ll stop writing and go refill my glass.
