Tête Rouge Free Mousse Pet Nat Cabernet Franc Blend
France
Not a red blend. It’s a cab franc blend but only slightly pink.

I buckle for the strawberry blonde color in Free Mouse every single time. Fall spiced Chenin apples and bright red cherries.

Oct 27th, 2020Free Mousse is something I buy regularly because it’s spectacular - a Pet Nat that tastes like Champagne. Rich and laser focused - red apple skins, peach flesh, baked apricots. Intensely flavorful.

Sep 5th, 2020These guys make insanely good biodynamic Loire wines. I rarely buy a wine twice but I buy their underpriced still Chenin whenever I can find it.
This is my first taste of the Pet Nat, a 70/30 rosy blend of Cab Franc and Chenin Blanc. It’s the Loire version of Champagne’s Blanc de Noir. It’s exactly what I want.
You can smell the dark berries from the Cab Franc and taste the spiced baked orchard fruit of the Chenin. It’s structured and doesn’t taste like Pet Nat, but like big boy Champagne.
Like the Chenin, Free Mousse is underpriced ~ $28

One of the best pet nats I’ve ever tasted. This is on another level. The cab franc gives way to lots of crunchy red fruits on that palate, supported by high acidity and lots of minerality. While a lot of pet nats can be much more rough around the edges, this is all about finesse.
