Experience the purity of Genevieve Brut Blanc de Blancs Zero Dosage 2017, a true expression of cool-climate Chardonnay. This exceptional vintage Méthode Cap Classique is made exclusively from 100% Chardonnay grapes. The fruit is sourced from the highly-regarded Bot River region. This specific bottling is a Zero Dosage style, meaning no sugar is added after disgorgement. It is only produced in exceptional vintages that deliver perfectly ripe, balanced fruit. The wine spent an extended period of 48 months (four years) on the lees. This meticulous ageing provides remarkable depth and complexity.

The nose is complex, offering bright aromas of lemon zest, citrus, and green apple. Subtler notes of freshly baked bread, almond, and chamomile emerge from the extended time on lees. The palate is lean, fresh, and intensely dry. A zippy, natural acidity drives the vibrant flavour profile. A very fine, persistent mousse provides a creamy lift and elegance. The long finish is savoury, clean, and arresting. This Genevieve Brut Blanc de Blancs Zero Dosage MCC 2017 is an ideal pairing for oysters, sashimi, or aged Parmesan cheese.
