The Griesel LR Grande Cuvée Exquisit Dosage Zero 2019 is a sparkling wine of exceptional depth and finesse – a prestige Sekt that shows what happens when time, craftsmanship, and the highest standards meet.

Filled without dosage, the cuvée presents itself in its purest, unadulterated form: precise, mineral, and powerful.

- Composed Cuvée: From selected Chardonnay and Burgundy base wines, harmoniously blended.

Late Release – When Maturity Becomes Perfection
The Grande Cuvée Exquisit is one of the most sophisticated Sekts produced by Griesel & Compagnie. The extended resting period on the lees allows the aromas to merge, smooths out every edge, and creates an overall picture of remarkable harmony. The result is a Sekt that appears both lively and matured – a rare interplay that succeeds only in excellent vintages.
Aroma & Taste
On the nose, an elegant interplay of ripe citrus fruits, candied pear, toasted brioche, and fine nutty notes emerges. On the palate, the cuvée opens with a deep, salty minerality, a smooth, finely effervescent texture, and a clear, powerful drive. Aromas of yellow stone fruit, subtle spice, and delicate yeast combine to create a long, precise finish. The Dosage Zero emphasizes its tension and elegance.
