Splash, Barouillet, 2022, Sparkling White Pet Nat, 75CL, 10% ABV

Semillon

Bergerac, South West

Sparkling

Fresh citrus with a herbal twist, moreish fizz. Best enjoyed as an aperitif with a group of your favourite people, incredibly light and easy drinking. No added sulphur.

Arriving with a little more fleshy fruit from the sun-packed 2022 vintage, Splash! is Vincent’s iconic pet nat of direct-pressed Semillon grown over clay-limestone, lightly settled before bottling to avoid disgorgement, no additions.

Whilst the sun returned to Bergerac in abundance in 2022 and the rains were much lower than Vincent would prefer, he’s long since adapted to handling these warmer vintages with finesse. Picking early, changing maceration methods for the reds, assembling blends carefully. Their biodynamic practices have helped too, as the freshness continues to remain where others might struggle.
