Jean-Claude Lapalu x Domaine Belluard Feu Follet Brut Zero 2019
Place: Savoie, France
Grape: Gringet
Vibe: Vibrant
A true one-off. Jean-Claude Lapalu and Dominique Belluard, who we sadly lost in 2021, were very close. After Dominique's tragic passing, Jean-Claude bought some of the 2019 Mont Blanc Brut Zero from the estate to finish aging and disgorgement at his cellar in the Beaujolais. This is a fitting tribute. Textured and hazy as any Pet-Nat should be but with all the class of a more high-end fizz. There is so much to unpack and so much to enjoy. Plenty of pithy citrus, vibrant acidity and long saline finish. Best Pet-Nat I've tried? It's up there. ABV: 12.5%
