Sylvain Saux is the man (and the enigma) behind Pechigo, a reclusive vigneron that sees himself as more of vine farmer than a man of the limelight. Based in the village of Carcassonne (Languedoc) Sylvain cultivates his own vineyards and also a few parcels of very old Carignan and Grenache owned by friends.
A blend of 90% Sauvignon Blanc and 10% of Pinot Noir. The Sauvignon Blanc was harvested early in the season to preserve some acidity and freshness whilst the Pinot Noir was a mixture of early and late harvest This is a PetNat made in the ancestral method (Second fermentation in the bottle. Salmon pink colour, dry yet fruity and direct.
Quite a playful wine that serves as great support for an evening with friends or out in the park.
