AboutLes Capriades
Pascal Potaire began Les Capriades in 2005, and Moses Gadouche joined him in 2011 in Faverolles-sur-Cher. The Loire project focuses on the méthode ancestrale: wine finishes its first fermentation in the bottle, creating its sparkle.
Grapes come from the partners’ own vines and from organic growers. Fermentation starts spontaneously in tank; the bottles are riddled and disgorged by hand. The wines are made without fining, filtration, added sulphur or other additives.
Les Capriades 2022 Pet-Sec Pétillant Naturel
French Sparkling
Lychee, white flowers and bright citrus rise over pear, apricot and a gentle yeasty note. The palate is dry and electric, with fine savoury bubbles carrying ripe melon and orchard fruit. A crunchy mineral backbone brings tension to the creamy texture, leaving the finish clean, vivid and lightly saline.
