Characteristics and Tasting Notes of Blanc de Pinot Noir Mailly Grand Cru
Tasting
Nose
The bouquet reveals beautiful aromatic complexity, combining the delicate freshness of citrus fruits with riper notes of roasted exotic fruits and wheat. Spicy and cocoa nuances complete this refined aromatic palette.
Palate
The attack is creamy with perfectly controlled liveliness. The palate displays a graceful balance between velvety maturity and finely spiced structure, extending into a particularly thirst-quenching saline finish.
Food and Wine Pairings
This champagne is perfect as part of a dinner aperitif and pairs ideally with foie gras in all its forms. It also enhances sautéed seafood, scallops with fleur de sel, roasted turbot with beurre blanc, as well as delicate poultry and cheeses.
An exceptional Blanc de Noirs champagne from the Montagne de Reims
The estate
Located in the heart of the Montagne de Reims, the Champagne Mailly Grand Cru House stands out both for its terroir, which imparts finesse and balance to its cuvées, and for its contemporary history.
The year 1929 marks the creation of the Société de Producteurs de Mailly Champagne, established to face the economic crisis following the First World War. The union of several winegrowers aimed to produce highly refined cuvées that showcase this terroir, classified as Grand Cru in 1920.
Fresh and beautifully mineral, the wines from the Champagne Mailly Grand Cru House are renowned for their balance, distinctive style, and great elegance.
The vineyard
Mailly Grand Cru cares for a 70-hectare terroir divided into more than 600 plots. Eighty winegrowers devote meticulous attention to this exceptional Champagne terroir.
The cuvée
The "Blanc de Pinot Noir" cuvée is crafted from grapes sourced from identified plots, mostly on a northern slope, benefiting from the exceptional Montagne du Nord terroir, the only Grand Cru in this privileged area of Champagne.
Winemaking and Aging
Manual harvesting is followed by vinification of the first press exclusively in parcel-based vats and barrels. Reserve wines are matured in large oak casks using the solera method, before traditional aging on lees in the estate’s chalk cellars. The dosage of this champagne Blanc de Noirs is 8g/L
