Lingot Martin Vin Blanc Pétillant Cerdon, France
Lingot Martin Vin Blanc Pétillant is a lightly sparkling white wine from Cerdon, made from Chardonnay. The vineyards are remarkably high, between 300 and 1000 m, causing winter to set in early and historically sometimes interrupting fermentation before all sugar was converted. When the temperature later rose again, fermentation restarted in the bottle, creating this soft, fruity style with a light mousse and only 8% alcohol.
Vineyards and region
This sparkling white wine comes from Cerdon, where altitude and early cold play an important role in the wine's style.
• Location / Origin: The wine comes from Cerdon and is made by Lingot Martin. The vineyards are located in a high-altitude area where the progression of the seasons clearly influences fermentation.
• Altitude: The vineyards are located between 300 and 1000 m in altitude. This high altitude causes winter to set in early, which was historically important for the creation of this lightly sparkling style.
• Climate Influence: The early cold could halt fermentation while sugar was still present. When temperatures rose, fermentation later restarted, but due to the lack of oxygen, this second fermentation in the bottle quickly stopped.
Grape composition
This pétillant is made entirely from Chardonnay.
• Chardonnay – Cerdon: Chardonnay gives this wine its soft structure, fresh fruitiness, and accessible character. The grape is also the classic basis for many white Burgundy wines, but here it gains a light, fruity, and sparkling expression.
Vinification and aging
The style of Lingot Martin Vin Blanc Pétillant originated from a particular course of fermentation.
• Second fermentation in the bottle: The wine undergoes its second fermentation in the bottle. What happens during second fermentation in the bottle? Carbon dioxide is created in the bottle itself, giving the wine its light mousse.
• Lightly sparkling style: Because the second fermentation quickly stops due to a lack of oxygen, the wine remains lightly sparkling instead of powerfully effervescent. This makes it fruity, friendly, and low in alcohol.
• Alcohol percentage: With 8% alcohol, this wine is lighter than many other sparkling wines. This makes it a good match for a reception, brunch, or aperitif earlier in the day.
Tasting notes and serving suggestions
Lingot Martin Vin Blanc Pétillant is very fruity in taste, with recognizable hints of peach. The mousse is light and soft, keeping the wine accessible and refreshing. The style is friendly, fruity, and meant to be drunk very chilled.
• Serving temperature: Serve this pétillant very chilled, at a maximum of 8 °C, so that the fruit and light mousse remain fresh and lively.
• Dishes: Very suitable as a gentle aperitif and delicious with pear, peach, other white fruits, sorbet, panna cotta, white fruit-based pastries, and white chocolate desserts.
