Description

Mailly’s signature cuvee strikes a perfect balance between crispness and softness, subtle hints of citrus offset by plush aromas of roasted tropical fruit and sun-ripened wheat. The palate exhibits a tempered liveliness – fleshy fruit punctuated by the zing of citrus. Balance and spicy structure persist through to a chiselled, saline-infused finish.

WINEMAKING PROCESS:
Champagne Exception Blanche Grand Cru from Maison MAILLY GRAND CRU is exclusively elaborated from Chardonnay.

BLEND:
100% CHARDONNAY

SCORE:
89 Points

TASTING NOTES:
3 Jul, 2023 – A straightforward blanc de blancs with sliced and cooked apple and
some apple skin character as well as raw pastry dough. Full-bodied and flavorful.
Some apple puree at the end. A little one dimensional but flavourful. Drink now.

Producer Profile


Our wines owe their character to the fruit of a single Grand Cru estate: a vineyard composed of 35 lieux-dits (named vineyard parcels) with exposure to all four cardinal points.

Mailly’s chalky subsoil brings out a unique mineral freshness in the Pinot Noir–a slightly saline crispness that marries beautifully with the finesse of the Chardonnay.

Area under vines:
70 hectares
Winemaker: Hervé Dantan
