This started life as a barrel of Pinot Meunier destined for a traditional-method sparkling wine, but after 10 months ageing in barrel, the wine had developed so much character that Lucie and Jules decided to take it in a different direction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe wine was refermented in bottle using the \u003c\/span\u003eCol Fondo method\u003cspan\u003e, leaving it lightly sparkling and resting on its lees.
