A refined, organic expression of a rare grape variety. An attractive and sustainable alternative for those seeking quality and character without the price tag of champagne.
The Tressallier Brut Nature from Domaine des Bérioles is a dry, organic sparkling wine that perfectly combines finesse and freshness. Made from the rare Tressallier grape, this wine offers a subtle aromatic profile with delicate citrus aromas and refined saline nuances. With its fine bubbles and elegant style, it is a sparkling gem from the Saint-Pourçain region.
Tressallier is a rare, historic white grape from the Saint-Pourçain region in Auvergne, where it has been cultivated since the Middle Ages. Wines from this grape once graced the tables of the French royal court. What makes Tressallier unique is its fresh character, lively acidity, and refined floral aromas. It is often blended with Chardonnay but also shines on its own in light and elegant wines. Although it fell into relative obscurity for many years, Tressallier has experienced a modest revival in recent decades as a symbol of regional wine heritage and biodiversity.

Tressallier Brut Nature 2022 - Domaine des Bérioles
This sparkling wine is produced using the traditional method (a second fermentation in the bottle, as in champagne), without any dosage added (zéro dosage, meaning no sugar is added after fermentation), resulting in a pure and crisp finish.
After the second fermentation, the wine is aged for 12 months sur latte (horizontally on racks to encourage contact with the yeast cells), which contributes to the complexity and refinement of the mousse.
