Château Edmus Zero, 2022, Bordeaux, France - 0% alcohol (Special Offer!)

Description

About the wine

In 2024, Château Edmus, a biodynamic vineyard in Saint-Émilion, launched a groundbreaking alcohol-free wine called Zero by Edmus. The goal is to provide the experience of a fine wine for those who cannot or prefer not to drink alcohol, such as for religious, health, or lifestyle reasons.

The process: They used reverse osmosis to gently reduce the wine's alcohol content to just 0.2% over three days. To restore balance after removing alcohol, they added grape must for sweetness and gum arabic for texture, mimicking the qualities of regular wine.

This dealcoholized wine is priced similar to conventional wines. However, it cannot be labeled as organic or use the Saint-Émilion appellation due to current regulations. Despite this, it’s received positive feedback, and Château Edmus is leading the conversation around the future of alcohol-free wines.

Tasting notes

On the nose, this wine offers vibrant aromas of red berries, plum, and a hint of spice. The palate is fresh and fruit-driven, with soft tannins, bright acidity, and a clean, balanced finish—remarkably wine-like, just without the alcohol.

All the charm of Saint-Émilion, without the hangover—zero alcohol, zero compromise.

About the winemaker

Stéphane Derenoncourt and Romain Bocchio are two of the estate's key players, having joined the team in 2007. Both agree that it’s attention to the finer details that can make or break a wine. This philosophy leads them to produce wines that are inherently linked to their region of origin and surrounding environment. They appraised the soil and plant matter, identified the right growing methods, and brought the best out of each and every vine. Their work has seen Château Edmus rise triumphant, like a phoenix from the ashes.

And not just a beautiful wine but a beautiful place - Saint Emilion was the first vineyard area to make the UNESCO world heritage list!
