The 'Pop et Nat' Pet-Nat is a lively blend of Pinot Noir, Grolleau Noir, and Grolleau Gris, grown in the limestone and clay soils that sit right behind the old castle. These 30-year old vines produce grapes that ferment naturally with its own pied de cuve, in stainless steel tanks. When the residual sugar hits 15g/l, the wine is cooled to slow the ferment and bottled to finish the process under the pressure of the bottle, resulting in a naturally sparkling wine that is completely dry, yet full of superb fruit. No sulfites are added, and the wine isn't disgorged but remains quite stable upon opening. This fun, vibrant sparkler is filled with fresh red berries, subtle floral notes, and a touch of earthy minerality on the nose. On the palate, it's all about the bright, lively fizz, with fruit-forward flavors and a crisp, clean finish. 'Pop et Nat' is perfect for those who love the spontaneous, unfiltered charm of natural wines, offering an effervescent and enjoyable sip every time.

The clay and limestone soils are very unique in this area of Anjou, leaning more towards Saumur where the limestone that then runs all the way through Paris to the east, begins

Domaine de Bois Mozé sits on a gorgeous old piece of property in between the Loire Valley cities of Anjou and Saumur. With a castle from the year 1400 as their landmark, this wine estate began in 1930, but took on new ownership in 1996, when the shift in farming and quality production really began. With 38 hectares of vines (primarily around the castle), the winery boasts incredible terroir, with unique schist soils, clay and limestone blends (unique for Anjou), and spots with stones and sand. Since 2017 the estate has been certified in their organic practices that go back much further, and have also committed extensively to agroforestry and bringing new found balance and harmony to the land that has been ‘effected’ by the estate’s presence for centuries; working in different ways like sheep grazing and bringing in bat communities to let nature recreate its ecosystem as much as possible. The range of wines is paired and dedicated to what their land grows best: Chenin Blanc, Cabernet Franc, Grolleau, Pinot Noir, and Cabernet Sauvignon.
