The elegance of a sparkling Loire wine from the clay-limestone terroirs of Cesset

The property

The Domaine des Bérioles is located in Cesset, in the heart of the Saint-Pourçain appellation, in the Allier. Founded in 1976 by Olivier Teissèdre in Cesset, the property was initially dedicated to cereal cultivation before turning to viticulture in 1989. Under the impetus of his wife Odile, they planted their first vines and gradually developed 15 hectares. In 2011, their son Jean joined the family business, followed in 2015 by Sophie and Jérôme Roux. The estate, certified organic since 2019, is also committed to biodynamics and diversifies its activities with the production of organic flours.

The vineyard

The Tressallier Brut Nature is a sparkling Loire wine from a blend of plots located in Cesset, benefiting from an ideal south-east exposure for good grape ripening. The clay-limestone soil of this terroir gives the wines a beautiful minerality and elegant freshness.

Vinification and ageing

Harvested by hand, the grapes are carefully sorted on a table before vinification. After a cold settling, fermentation is conducted at low temperature to preserve the freshness of the aromas. The effervescence is achieved using the traditional method, followed by an ageing of 12 to 24 months on slats to refine the bubbles. The disgorging is carried out without the addition of dosage liqueur, thus giving this wine its brut nature character.

Grape variety

100% tressallier, a rare and indigenous grape variety from the Saint-Pourçain region.
