No dosage, nowhere to hide. Mandois Zero Dosage is Champagne in its purest form - just the grape, the cellar and time.
Expert's Description
Mandois Zero Dosage Brut is a Sparkling Wine from Champagne, France made from the house's classic grape varieties, bottled at 12% ABV.
Zero Dosage - also called Brut Nature or Brut Zéro - means no sugar is added after the second fermentation. That places real demands on the grapes' own ripeness and balance, since there's no sweetness to mask any rough edges. For Mandois, with roots back to 1735 and the ninth generation at the helm in Pierry, it's an exercise in letting the terroir and the craftsmanship speak for themselves, completely unfiltered.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Clean and direct, with a clear imprint of the grape itself rather than sweetness.
Palate
Sharp and mineral, with acidity standing fully upfront with nothing to soften it.
Finish
Dry and long, with a clean, almost taut close.
Serving & Food Pairing
Serve at 8-10°C in a champagne glass. The sharp, dry style makes it a natural match for oysters, raw fish and other shellfish with a clean, salty character.
