"A true masterpiece of natural sparkle and incomparable purity".
Triple zéro is made from grapes that are abnormally ripe for sparkling wine production, without chaptalization, liqueur de tirage or expedition. The result is a lively, pure crémant with delicate bubbles. Unquestionably a benchmark in Loire bubbles!

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Wine rated (2024 guide) 94/100
Domaine rated (2025 guide) 5*Stars (Outstanding producers, those who represent the absolute pinnacle of quality in France and the world)
About the wine:
This is a sparkling wine with airy bubbles and a pure lemon aroma.
About the domain :
After the death of his father, a charismatic figure in world winegrowing, Jean-Philippe Blot took up the reins alone, aided by a close-knit technical and cultural team. This is the best way to ensure the continuity of this flagship estate in the French wine world, which shines with wines that are always well-balanced, displaying great aromatic intensity and depth.

About the wine:
It was harvested at full maturity, fermented spontaneously and bottled with residual sugar, so that the second fermentation in the bottle comes from these natural sugars. Triple zero" means no chaptalization of the base wines, no addition of sugar to start the second fermentation, and no dosage. The golden color shows a slight evolution, the nose brimming with the intense ripe yellow apple flavor of Chenin Blanc, both cooked and fresh. The palate continues with round, mellow apples, clean, bone-dry and fresh, expressive and saline. This is a table wine with a persistent, smooth finish.

About the wine:
Comforting nose of apples, baked lemons, quince zest and brioche. Medium-bodied, with fine bubbles and lively acidity. Lively and agile, with a mineral framework. Dry and bright in the center, with weight. Luscious, succulent finish. For drinking or keeping.
