Château Picoron "I Did Did I" Sparkling Pet-Nat Merlot Rose

Château Picoron "I Did Did I" is an innovative, single-varietal Merlot Pet-Nat (Pétillant Naturel) from an eco-conscious, independent estate in Côtes de Castillon, Bordeaux.

Crafted using the ancient ancestral method with zero added sulphur and no filtration, this lightly sparkling natural rose wine turns traditional Bordeaux on its head. It delivers a raw, vibrant, and wildly refreshing profile brimming with crunchy red fruit and fine, persistent bubbles.

Tasting Notes & Style

Bottled mid-fermentation to capture natural fizz without any additives, this cloudy, low-intervention sparkling red offers an energetic and playful profile:

• The Nose: Expressive and fragrant, opening with aromas of fresh wild raspberries, tart red cherries, pomegranates, and a hint of rustic yeast complexity.
• The Palate: Light, crisp, and delightfully lively. The palate is driven by bright cranberry and sour cherry notes, balanced by a fine, creamy mousse and electric natural acidity.
• The Finish: Dry, clean, and endlessly mouthwatering, ending with a tart berry crunch that makes it impossibly easy to drink.
