Description

Nuance-filled layers of flavour give this wine exceptional aesthetic elegance. Floral notes interlaced with juicy white fruits and zest of citrus tease out the nascent maturity of the vintage against a backdrop of spring like sappiness. A creamy mousse is followed by a silky palate that delivers vibrant citrus all the way to a sparkling saline and chalk-tinged finish.

“Intemporelle, Timeless, Zeitlos, Tijdloze, Intemporal, Atemporali… L’Intemporelle is a magical blend of fruit from carefully selected parcels, made in a seductive, well balanced style. First released in 1990, this wine has become a favourite of gourmet restaurants far and wide.”

COMPOSITION:
Pinot Noir 60%
Chardonnay 40%

WINEMAKING PROCESS:
Manual picking, whole-cluster pressing. Alcoholic fermentation at 15°C and malolactic in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks. Ageing on laths in traditional chalk cellars.

BLENDING:
A blend of the vintage’s most re?ned Chardonnay and Pinot Noir fruit, respecting the style of this cuvee always vintage.

PAIRING WITH FOOD:
Ideal with a buffet-style dinner, adding a touch of class to those taste-tempting canapés. Equally at ease with a sit-down meal and particularly recommended with roasted scallops, line-fished sea-bass in a salt or clay crust, turbot cooked any way you like or risotto with white truffle.

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
