Description
Étienne Fort makes brilliant sparkling wines by the ‘méthode traditionnelle’ (as for champagne), from parcels at 400-500m altitude on limestone soils in the foothills of the Pyrénées. This is based on the 2021 vintage which was aged for six months in cuve, some reserve wine from 2020 was added before being bottled off for ageing ‘sur lattes’ – disgorged in December 2023 with no dosage, this exceptional value fizz has a fine bubble, and fruit-forward spicy flavours typical of the local mauzac variety.
