Varietal Composition: 100% Chardonnay
Elaboration: The Mout’Hard Chardonnay is harvested by Machine and gently pressed in a Pneumatic Press. It is fermented in jacketed stainless steel tanks and cold settled to 7°C. It is a blend between Chardonnay & Water to reduce the alcohol rate. According to Méthode Ancestrale, 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 or sugars. Sparklingness is from natural second fermentation into the bottle.
Tasting Notes: The bubble is fine and looks like a delicate pearl necklace. Attractive color of white gold. The aromas of citrus fruits, floral and mineral go very well with freshness and elegance in mouth in addition to an acidity which allows balance between aromatic power and softness.

PRODUCER BACKGROUND
Two passionate brothers, Alexandre & Benoît Moutard and Thomas Lacunne, one day had the idea of creating the first Craft Hard-seltzer. Living in the Aube, in the village of Buxeuil, they create French whiskeys and other artisanal spirits in a distillery built by their family in 1892. And why not also create in this historic place the most crafted, the most natural and the most aware of hard-seltzers in the world?
They have now revealed the first bottles of their craft hard seltzer, Mout’Hard. The idea was to produce a light, easy-to-drink wine-based craft hard seltzer, designed to be eco-responsible right down to the last detail.
