Pierre Zero Sparkling Blanc (0% alcohol)

Winemaker Pierre Chavin on the winery

“Maison Chavin was founded by Mathilde Boulachin in the south of France, with the belief that everyone should be able to enjoy a good glass, with or without alcohol. With Pierre Zéro, we are among the pioneers of alcohol-free wine. Since 2010, we have been developing wines and sparkling alternatives that put flavour, quality and enjoyment first. By combining traditional winemaking with modern dealcoholisation techniques, we create elegant alternatives that preserve the character and conviviality of a celebratory glass of wine.”

And on Languedoc-Roussillon, France

“For our Pierre Zéro Sparkling Blanc, we use 100% Chardonnay from France. The grapes are harvested at night, when temperatures are lower, to preserve their freshness and aromatic character as much as possible. Following traditional vinification, we remove the alcohol using a specialised vacuum technique known as the Spinning Cone method. This helps retain as much of the original aroma as possible. The wine has fine, delicate bubbles and aromas of tropical fruit, peach, lychee and white flowers. On the palate, it is fruity and soft, with a pleasant freshness. A festive aperitif without alcohol.”
