Michel Genet Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru NV Double Magnum Bottle size: 3000ml
France, Champagne
R5,320
‘(made from fruit grown in Chouilly and Cramant): Pale gold. Sexy aromas of Anjou pear, jasmine, chalky minerals and ginger. Dry, nervy and precise, offering sappy orchard and citrus fruit flavors and a touch of buttered toast. Clings nicely on the finish, which leaves notes of orange zest and minerals behind. I like this rich Champagne's energy; it has a healthy 9 g/l of dosage but doesn't come off at all heavy.’ – Josh Raynolds, Vinous, 90/100
'The colour is golden yellow, slightly amber. After aeration, the nose opens to toasted, roasted notes (pastries, freshly baked bread). Some tension is revealed by citrus and a spicy salinity. The attack in the palate is tonic. Citrus dominate with lemon, tangerine and grapefruit. Complex finish on cocoa and linseed oil. Pure, vivid, tonic, citrus, fine.' – Winemaker
