Description
Champagne Michel Genet is a family operation, located in Chouilly, in the Côte des Blancs, run by Antoine, Vincent, and Agnès Genet. The trio pride themselves on being personally involved in every stage of creating their Champagnes, from growing the grapes to vinification and maturation. The Genet family takes an artisan approach to winemaking, focusing on natural viticulture and vinification methods. They practice vine parcel supervision, use organic amendments, and employ sustainable pest control. Harvest is done painstakingly and by hand to ensure the highest quality.
The core of their range is the Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Brut, made from 100% Chardonnay, crafted to convey the house’s pure and upstanding style. Cleanly layered aromas of lemon, fresh apples, chalk and a hint of pastry dough. The palate is vibrant, with tart flavors of green apple, lemon flesh and freshly baked madeleines. A fine, persistent bead translates to a lively mouthfeel and a nicely focused, mineral finish. A delightful Blanc de Blancs, this is the perfect apéritif or companion at your next Sunday brunch.
