A wonderfully complex Blanc de Blancs champagne from the outstanding 2015 vintage. Michel Genet and his team are 'manufacteurs de Grands Crus' and their MG BB Vintage offers aromas of pastries with fragrances of fresh nuts and candied fruits, followed by tobacco, menthol anise and eucalyptus. This has a rich aromatic palette and powerful finish.
About the Producer
Manufacteurs de Grands Crus. Michel Genet like to call themselves manufacteurs (artisans) from the words Latin origins in manu-factum = made by hand as they are personally involved in every stage of creating their Champagnes. Antoine, Vincent et Agnès Genet take an artisan approach to managing their family-run Champagne House, which bears the name of their father, Michel Genet. All three advocate taking the most natural approach to viticulture and vinification possible, and their process is highly selective (vine parcel supervision, organic (AB) amendments, sustainable pest control), qualitative (with approved quality standards for the entire winery) and reliable (independent, stringent and reactive).
Taste
A golden silken yellow colour with a delicate effervescence. Aromas of pastries with fragrances of fresh nuts and candied fruits. Then tobacco, menthol anise and eucalyptus are revealed. Some complex expression that makes you travel into a universe of spices with scents going up to leather. Rich aromatic palette and broad range where Chardonnay is not expected.
