Bodet-Herold Cybele offers a hedonistic pleasure with its oxidative profile, featuring notes of nuttiness, marzipan, ripe pear, apple, and hints of marmalade. This rich flavor is beautifully balanced by elevated acidity and a soft, mouth-filling mousse.

Vigneron Style:

The wine is made from 100% Chardonnay and has spent five years aging on the lees. The Cybelle was introduced in 2016, a year prior to the first official vintage from Bodet-Herold, a micro-négoce.

The winery is operated by Etienne Bodet, a native of Samur, along with his wife, Kim Bodet-Herold. They have shifted their focus to Chenin and Grolleau for their Crémant de Loire production. However, given that Etienne has trained under Biodynamic pioneer Sylvain Pataille and has worked alongside several renowned winemaking figures, it is likely that he sourced the Chardonnay grapes for ‘Cybele’ from vineyards with high organic and biodynamic viticulture standards.
