Galipette 2022 - Christophe Pueyo

Galipette - Christophe Pueyo 

Pet Nat, my love! Galipette in French could be translated as somersaults! Made from Semillon and Muscadelle grapes, completely without added sulfites, it represents two minority varieties here in Bordeaux, but they are two true stars in this lively refermented wine: notes of white flowers, chamomile, and spring herbs are evident, with a hint of bread. On the palate, it is creamy and rich, one of those wines that, once opened, makes you want to drink more, without even realizing it.

Service

It is recommended to taste it at a temperature of 8/10°.

pairing

Excellent as an aperitif, it pairs well with delicate fish dishes, especially with baked sea bass. Shake well before drinking to fully enjoy it.

Cellar: Christophe Pueyo

Pueyo is a historic family in the winemaking world of Saint-Emilion, Bordeaux, with a tradition spanning three centuries. They have owned Château Belregard-Figeac since 1853, now in its fifth generation, with Christophe at the helm. Since 2010, they have been converting to organic farming, certified by Ecocert, and since 2017, they have also adopted biodynamic methods for the cultivation of their vines, covering a total of 16 hectares of vineyards, 7 of which are dedicated to the production of red wines and 1.5 hectares of white grapes. The vineyards are divided into ten parcels, characterized by very different soils: gravelly near Libourne, clay and flint in Fronsac, and limestone near Nérigean, where the Cuvée Blanc is produced. Aging takes place in a variety of containers, including barriques, tonneaux, large barrels, and amphorae, helping to maintain the purity and character of the terroir. Pueyo represents an authentic and vivid example of its area of ​​origin, maintaining a balance between fruitiness and the valorization of the original soil. The wines, the fruit of courageous and environmentally friendly work, stand out for their stability and complexity, revealing the identity of the terroir and the care taken in production.
