Zeroine MaSa 2020

ZEROINE MASA 2020
Rotalier / Jura // France

A delicate and elegant maceration, with little color or tannin. Made from 100% Jura Savagnin; grapes purchased from vines grown organically and planted on the village of Arbois, on marly soils. 

Good volume, minerality and a long, salivating finish.

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.
