Today's bottle is a 2021 Famille Fabre
L'Instant Bulle Pétillant Naturel Brut Nature - unfiltered bubbles with no degorgement, fermented using natural local yeasts.
Crisp bubbles, taste not super pronounced, but I get pear, apple with a bit of chalk. Not as strong and refreshing as champagne (duh), but still delicious!
Good to see some new things from @nattywine, including the fun #quince #cider from @floribundacider

'China's New Wave of Natural Wine: Adversity has sparked diversity for China's winemakers, with niche wines emerging in what was a very traditional wine market."
My article in Wine Searcher.
In sum, Chinese wines became more diverse during the COVID era, driven by global inspiration, local ambition and economic necessity.
