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).

Tasting
Pale colour with salmon and orangey tints. Nice effervescence, fine string of bubbles. First the nose expresses in a floral dimension, delicate and powdered with notes of violet, rose, peony and iris. Delicate aromas of red fruits come after, such as redcurrant, « pigeon heart », cherry, raspberry and apricot. The smell universe is fresh. Smooth and delicate register. The attack in the palate is smooth and easy, with some nice amplitude. Then the wine reveals lively with citrus and a touch of lavandin. The finish offers nice fruity and bitter tension of orange peel.
Food pairings
Wine for aperitif and cocktail. To be drunk with melon, financier cake with almonds. Granita of red fruits, or soup of red fruits.
