Product Description

Frantz Saumon La Cave Se Rebiffe Pet-Nat Rosé 2023 is a pétillant naturel crafted in Montlouis-sur-Loire, on the Loire Valley's left bank. This rosé blends Gamay and Grolleau grapes, both hand-harvested from organically farmed vineyards on tuffeau—the region's distinctive fossil-rich limestone and clay. Frantz Saumon, a former Canadian forester who founded his domaine in 2002, ferments all wines with indigenous yeasts in underground cellars carved into the soft rock. The ancestral method captures residual sugars mid-fermentation, creating natural effervescence without dosage or added sulfites. Frantz Saumon's winemaking philosophy emphasizes purity, minerality, and dryness over overt fruitiness.

Tasting notes

Pale salmon pink with lively, persistent bubbles. The nose offers raspberry, white pepper, wild strawberry, and subtle herbaceous notes. On the palate: dry and clean with bright acidity, red fruit crunch, chalky minerality, and a refreshing saline finish that lingers with gentle effervescence.

Producer profile

Frantz Saumon

Frantz Saumon is a natural winemaker based in Montlouis-sur-Loire, on the left bank of France's Loire Valley. Before turning to viticulture, Saumon worked as a forester in both Canada and France. In 2001, he acquired a small three-hectare property near Tours, officially founding his domaine in 2002. His path into winemaking was shaped by a formative apprenticeship with Christian Chaussard of Domaine le Briseau, an influential figure in the French natural wine movement.

Frantz Saumon has practiced organic and biodynamic agriculture from the start, achieving organic certification in 2006. The estate now spans approximately six hectares, with around 5.5 hectares dedicated to Chenin Blanc and Sauvignon Blanc, and a smaller portion planted to red varieties including Gamay, Grolleau, and Côt (Malbec). Vineyards sit on varied soils—tuffeau limestone, clay with silex, and clay over limestone—contributing to the mineral character that defines his wines. All grapes are hand-harvested.

The winery occupies an underground cellar carved directly into the tuffeau, the region's distinctive fossil-rich sedimentary rock. Saumon ferments exclusively with indigenous yeasts in a mix of barrels (228L and 400L), stainless steel, and fiberglass tanks. Every sparkling wine he produces is pétillant naturel—no méthode champenoise, no dosage—capturing residual sugars mid-fermentation for natural effervescence. His winemaking philosophy prioritizes purity, cleanliness, and dryness over overt fruit expression.

Frantz Saumon is recognized alongside Bertrand Jousset and Xavier Weisskopf as part of Montlouis's new generation of natural wine producers, collectively revitalizing this historic appellation with wines of precision and personality.

Wine region

Loire Valley, France

The Loire Valley, often called the "Garden of France," stretches over 600 miles along France's longest river, creating one of the world's most diverse and historic wine regions. From the Atlantic coast to central France, this picturesque region produces an extraordinary range of wine styles across 87 appellations, making it a cornerstone of French natural wine production.

The region's signature white grape, Sauvignon Blanc, thrives in prestigious appellations like Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé, producing mineral-driven wines with crisp acidity. Chenin Blanc dominates Vouvray and Anjou, crafting everything from bone-dry to lusciously sweet wines, including sparkling pétillant naturel. Near the Atlantic, Muscadet focuses on Melon de Bourgogne, creating saline-driven whites perfect for oysters.

Red wine production centers on Cabernet Franc in appellations like Chinon, Bourgueil, and Saumur-Champigny, delivering floral, peppery wines with bright acidity. Gamay and Pinot Noir add lighter styles, while indigenous varieties like Grolleau and Pineau d'Aunis showcase the region's unique character.

The Loire Valley's terroir varies dramatically—from flinty clay and chalky limestone to volcanic soils—while the climate shifts from maritime influences in the west to continental conditions in the east. This geological and climatic diversity enables the region to produce wines that authentically reflect their specific locales.

Today, the Loire Valley leads France's organic and biodynamic wine movement. Producers like Domaine Tessier in Cheverny and François Chidaine in Touraine champion minimal intervention winemaking, creating wines that are fresh, vibrant, and expressive of their origin.
