About
Domaine La Mothe du Barry "Holi" PetNat 2023 is a semi-dry sparkling wine from Bordeaux, made exclusively from Merlot grapes. This unique PetNat offers a refreshing alternative to traditional Bordeaux wines, showcasing the versatility of Merlot in a bubbly format. Produced with minimal intervention, this wine embodies the natural winemaking philosophy of the region.
Producer
Joel Duffau comes from an old family of winegrowers - nine generations! With this kind of legacy, his fate was almost predetermined… and it so happened that in 1985, after studying winemaking in France and abroad, he founded the vineyards of Chateau la Mothe du Barry. The property is located in the village of Moulon on the left bank of the Dordogne River, opposite Saint Emilion. Joel's natural curiosity to discover everything new allows him to develop with more successful grape harvesting, viticulture and oenological practices, which in turn allows the production of more and more expressive wines.
Tasting notes
Beautiful raspberry pink color with a lovely liveliness. The nose is very expressive with aromas of small red and black berries (raspberries, redcurrants, cranberries, blueberries and
blackcurrants) with a touch of fresh bread crumbs. The palate is fresh, very sparkling on the attack with a slight sweetness and notes of small red fruits which persist for a very long time.
Pairing
This PetNat pairs wonderfully with light appetizers such as goat cheese crostini and fresh salads with vinaigrette. It also complements seafood dishes like ceviche or grilled shrimp, enhancing their flavors with its crisp, fruity profile.

Merlot can produce red wines from medium to full-bodied, with rich but smooth and rounded tannins. Young merlot wine is dominated by aromas of blackberry, raspberry, violet and wild plum, but with aging it can develop aromas of figs, chocolate, leather and truffle.
Bordeaux
Bordeaux wines are considered to be the most prestige and renowned in the world. The region is mainly known for its dry red wines made from Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot grapes, and one can almost always find the word Château (French for „castle”) on Bordeaux wine labels. In order to understand the style of wine most desirable for your taste, it is recommended to try different samples from the Left as well as the Right Bank of The Gironde. Both banks differ not only with different soil, but also with the share of specific wines. There are several classifications in Bordeaux but the main one, introduced in 1855, hasn’t changed since and still impacts wine prices nowadays. A few years later, in 1936, an alternative classification system - Crus Bourgeois - was established. Bordeaux is known for a commerce praxis called en primeur - it means that a buyer can purchase wines immediately after harvest and prior to production for a substantially lower price, thus obtaining the opportunity to sell them for a larger profit later in the future. Bordeaux wines can be described as big, complex and with a strong character, but very friendly at the same time so that each and every wine lover could find something tasty and suitable for a great wine night.
