Tasty, Spring-Approved Pét-Nat

To kick April off on a high note, we're excited to share that Agnès and René Mosse's Moussamoussettes Rosé Pét-Nat is back in stock—and we can't think of a better bottle to usher in spring.

Based in the Coteaux du Layon area of Anjou (Loire Valley), the Mosse family has been pioneering natural winemaking far before it was as fashionable to do so as it is now. Today, the pair is joined by their sons, Jo and Sylvestre, who also work with them in the village of St-Lambert-du-Lattay.

Generally speaking, the Coteaux du Layon area of the Loire is known for its sweet wines, though a small number of producers (including the Mosses) have chosen to cultivate a variety of different grapes in the area's schist and sandstone-based soils, as well as vinify them in a number of styles—from bone dry Chenin to pleasantly fizzy pét-nats with a hint of residual sugar and beyond.

In addition to being an industry favorite since its early days, Moussamoussettes is also one of our go-to bottles at Windmill. Produced dfrom a blend of Grolleau and Pineau d'Aunis, the wine is disgorged and recorked prior release. On the palate, fruit-forward flavors of raspberry, strawberry, cream, and grapefruit rind lead to a frothy, fizzy finish. In addition to being incredibly easy to drink, the wine also clocks in under $30—a true win-win!

We also just received the latest vintage of the Mosse's Bangarang Rouge this past week. Grab one of each to truly start the month with a bang (see what we did there?)

Stop by and say hello all weekend long. We'd love to see you in person. Cheers!
