Appearance: Presents a pale straw yellow color with attractive greenish reflections. Its crown of bubbles is fine, energetic, and consistent. As an unfiltered natural sparkling wine, it exhibits a light and elegant opalescence that highlights its artisanal character.
Nose: Vibrant and supremely fresh. Distinct notes of crisp green apple, water pear, and yellow lemon zest stand out, quickly giving way to subtle layers of fine pastry, puff pastry dough, white orange blossom flowers, and a distinct chalk and limestone background.

frequently asked questions (FAQs)
What is the optimal serving temperature for Extra Bulles Sparkling White Wine?
To ensure the bubbles remain integrated and its refreshing profile stands out, it is recommended to serve it very cold, ideally between 6°C and 8°C. Keeping the bottle submerged in an ice bucket with plenty of ice and water throughout its consumption will guarantee an impeccable experience.
Why does this sparkling wine look slightly cloudy?
It is a characteristic of pride and authenticity. As a natural wine made using the ancestral method, Extra Bulles is not subjected to industrial filtration or heavy clarification processes. The yeasts remain inside the bottle, giving it that beautiful opalescence, as well as organically protecting the wine and giving it a much creamier texture on the palate.
Is this a sweet or dry sparkling wine?
This wine is strictly dry (Brut Nature / Pas Dosé style). All of the natural grape sugar has been transformed into alcohol and bubbles by wild yeasts, so it has no perceptible residual sugar, offering a clean, vertical, and intensely gastronomic finish.
Does this sparkling wine have added sulfites?
No, the Extra Bulles winery operates under a strict philosophy of minimal intervention, thus foregoing the addition of chemical sulfites or other artificial preservatives during bottling, keeping the wine in its most vibrant, pure, and honest state.
