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).

First racking in January. Malolactic fermentation made on lees to let for the expression of terroir and for obtaining an aromatic, voluptuous wine. Follow-up of the plots in winery, separate vinification by plots.

Tasting
The nose offers a floral and vegetal universe: ripe wheat, violet, menthol-liquorice, honeysuckle, and hawthorn. The charm works through its finesse and elegance with delicacy. Finesse and elegance of Chardonnay. After a smooth attack in the palate, some creamy, if not milky, dimension expresses with meringue notes of nuts and fresh almonds, all in finesse, elegance and delicacy. A finish on exotic fruits with pineapples and yellow fruits.

Wine for aperitif and meals. To be drunk with lemon meringue pie, fish, crayfish.
