Petit Sauvage Rouge is an exciting new natural and certified vegan wine made from Cabernet Cortis, an extraordinary varietal with a strong resistance to vine diseases. As a result, this bright and fresh wine is made without the addition of copper and sulfur spreads in the vineyard. Less treatments result in a much smaller carbon footprint and a sustainable approach, to benefit the planet!

Petit Sauvage is also made without the addition of sulfites in the wine-making process. The estate believes in vinification without intervention is the purest representation of the local terroir. At bottling, the winemakers add a touch of carbonic gas to preserve the wines and allow them to have aging potential.

The bottles and packaging are all eco-conscious and locally sourced. From the lightweight bottle made in Albi, Roussillon made corks, natural wax to replace tin foil capsule and natural linen and hemp made label labels.
