Vignes du Maynes 2022 Extra Brut Sainte Geneviève

We're delighted to have the wonderful Vignes du Maynes Vin Mousseux Sainte Geneviève back in the store! Made from 30 to 70 year-old vines of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Gamay grown on clay/limestone soils in and around Cruzille, certified organic of course. Guyot Poussard simple pruning with arc training, harvested by hand, direct pressing, traditional method - first fermentation and ageing in steel tanks, second fermentation in bottle, 9 months of ageing on slats, 12.5% alcohol. The wine shows lovely aromas of white peach and red fruits, spiced pear and honey. The palate is creamy and full, with pear, a hint of red currant and berry fruits, honey, stone and brown spice with fabulous length. This is unique and really lovely - it will be great fun to share this rare wine with friends and family as a special aperitif or creative food pairing.
