Pet Nat
Pet Nat (short for Pétillant-Naturel) is a type of
sparkling wine that is made using the ancestral
method, which is the oldest method for making
sparkling wine.
It is a natural sparkling wine that is made by bottling
the wine before fermentation is complete, allowing
the fermentation to finish in the bottle, which creates
natural carbonation.
Pet Nat wine is made from grapes that are harvested
at an earlier stage of ripeness than those used for
traditional sparkling wine, which gives it a lower alcohol
content and a lighter, fresher flavour profile. The wine is
bottled with the yeast still active, and the fermentation
process continues in the bottle, creating carbon dioxide,
which gives the wine its effervescence.
Because the fermentation process is less controlled
than with other methods of making sparkling wine,
the resulting wine can have a range of flavours and
textures, from fruity and floral to yeasty and funky. Pet
Nat wines are often unfiltered and may have a cloudy
appearance due to the presence of yeast sediment in
the bottle.
Pet Nat wines have gained popularity in recent
years as a natural, artisanal alternative to traditional
sparkling wines.

The Moutard family is one of the leading Champagne producers (see next page). Several
years ago the family purchased a domaine in Burgundy and began producing a range of
interesting offerings, including Pétillant-Naturel - and the Pet’ Mout’ range was born!
The wines are produced according to Methode Ancestrale
- a traditional method of making sparkling wine that is, in
fact, the world’s most ancient. The wine is bottled before the
primary fermentation is finished, delivering a lower pressure,
lightly sparkling wine in the pétillant style. The wine is finished without the
addition of secondary yeasts, sugars, or sulphites. Grapes used for both of
these wines are sustainably farmed and harvested from the Area of
Tonnerre, which is close to Chablis in Burgundy.
So, what’s this got to do with the flatulent sheep on the label? The name
is a play on words: it could be an abbreviation of Pétillant Moutard, or an
alternative is Péter Mouton (French dictionaries at the ready!). Even serious
wine can have a bit of fun.
