Zeroine MaGewRie 2021

ZEROINE MAGEWRIE 2021
Rotalier / Jura // France

The result of a marriage between the perfume and body of Gewurztraminer and the freshness and minerality of Riesling.

This wine stands out for its seriousness, enriched by subtle ageing. Savoury with good minerality, this wine can be enjoyed today or kept for up to five years.

Zero” for no additives and “zeroine” for a feminine hero, Zeroine was established in 2018 initially as a negociant venture.

Zeroine is the brainchild of Maylis Bernard. The grand daughter of the winemaker from Château-Chalon, Maylis used to help her grandfather at the vineyard. She also happens to be the life partner of Jean-Francois Ganevat.

Having received invaluable guidance from both Jean-Francois and his sister Anne, her vineyard and cellar practices mirrors theirs. Maylis embraces traditional techniques, and fermentations are largely carried out in open-top wooden vats with extended ageing periods in barrel and demi-muid, followed by at least one year in bottle before release. Additionally, Maylis made a decision to avoid compromising her creativity and expressiveness of her wines by fully steering clear of any intervention as well as SO2.

There's also a discernible alignment in the stylistic approaches of the winemakers: characterised by distinctive aromatic profiles, lively acidity and exceptionally flavourful palates.
