The wine's story:<\/span><\/h3>

MG BB Spirit is the historic cuv\u00e9e of Champagne Michel Genet \u2013 a classic Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru <\/strong>Champagne that reflects the house style in its purest form. The grapes come solely from the Grand Cru village of Chouilly<\/strong>, from the chalky slopes of the C\u00f4te des Blancs, renowned for their elegant and mineral Chardonnay.<\/p>

The Michel Genet house is a family business whose leaders \u2013 Vincent, Agn\u00e8s and Antoine Genet \u2013 proudly consider themselves \u201cManufacteurs de Grands Crus\u201d<\/em>. They are personally involved in every stage of production, from organic grape growing to long years of ageing in the cellar. Viticulture is sustainable, using organic fertilisers and chemical-free crop protection. The result is Champagnes made from Chardonnay that express their origin with crystal clarity.<\/p>

Winemaking:<\/span><\/p>

MG BB Spirit is made 100% Chardonnay<\/strong> grapes. All the plots are vinified separately to preserve their individuality. After harvest, malolactic fermentation on the lees<\/strong>, which adds a creamy texture and depth to the wine.<\/p>

The base wine is a blend of several vintages, always including a significant proportion of reserve wines. This ensures consistency of style and adds complexity to the wine. Careful blending takes place before bottling, followed by long ageing on the lees in accordance with the traditional method. The Champagne receives a Brut-level dosage of 8 g\/l<\/strong>, which strikes the ideal balance between fruitiness and freshness.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Tasting notes:<\/span><\/h3>

Golden yellow in colour, slightly amber, pointing to maturity and the presence of reserve wines. On the nose, prominent notes of freshly baked bread, croissant, almond paste and toasted nuts<\/strong> \u2013 a clear sign of long ageing on the lees. With air, it opens up to reveal citrus fruit (lemon, mandarin, grapefruit)<\/strong> and a fine, spicy minerality.<\/p>

On the palate the wine is lively and precise<\/strong>, yet rich \u2013 fresh citrus and yellow fruit at first, then brioche, roasted almonds and a light saline minerality. On the mid-palate come cocoa and linseed oil<\/strong> nuances that add to the wine's polished, opulent character. The finish is long, layered and full, balancing ripeness and freshness.<\/p>

Food pairing:<\/span><\/h3>

MG BB Spirit pairs superbly as an aperitif<\/strong>, yet thanks to its structure and richness it is a true food wine<\/strong>. An ideal companion shellfish, baked seafood and scallops pan-fried in butter<\/strong>. The Champagne\u2019s toasty and citrus nuances also complement white meats<\/strong>, such as herb-roasted chicken or veal. It also suits mushroom dishes<\/strong>, such as wild mushroom risotto or truffled brie. Lightly spiced Asian dishes (e.g. fish with lemongrass and ginger) gain extra lift from the wine\u2019s citrus freshness. Among cheeses, we recommend bloomy-rind cheeses (Brie, Camembert)<\/strong> or older hard cheeses such as Comt\u00e9 or Gruy\u00e8re<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Ageing potential:<\/span><\/h3>\n

Thanks to the elegance of Chardonnay, its Grand Cru origin and balanced dosage, this Champagne is ready to drink now, but will continue to develop well for within 5\u20136 years of disgorgement<\/strong>. Over time the mousse becomes even softer and the palate gains toasted nuts, honey and dried fruit, while the mineral backbone and freshness remain. We recommend drinking it 2024\u20132029<\/strong>, though a well-kept bottle may continue to develop until 2030.<\/p>\n
