Wine Description:
Following experience in Alsace and Burgundy, Bernard Fouquet founded his winery in the Loire in 1982, focusing on Chenin Blanc. Through trial and error, he mastered his terroir, and by the mid-late 1990s, Fouquet's wines gained international acclaim for their value. With a commitment to purity and stainless steel use, he seeks to express terroir characteristics: calcareous clay in dry and dessert wines, flint/silica in demi-sec and sparkling wines. Today, Fouquet's labels remain affordable yet rank among Vouvray's finest, regardless of price.

Orbis Moderandi Pétillant Naturel is a sparkling wine produced using the méthode ancestrale, also known as pétillant naturel or "pet-nat" in short. This ancient winemaking technique involves bottling the wine before primary fermentation is complete, allowing carbon dioxide produced during fermentation to naturally carbonate the wine. As a result, pet-nat wines are often characterized by their light effervescence and lively, sometimes slightly cloudy appearance. "Orbis Moderandi" could be a specific brand or label, though without further context, it's not possible to provide specific details. These wines are typically known for their fresh fruit flavors, vibrant acidity, and approachable, easy-drinking style.
