Description
Iridescent golden yellow tones, full, fruity nose, clean palate. A very come-hither Champagne: racy, elegant and deeply sensual, with beguiling bubbles that literally burst with luscious fruit. Mouth-watering hints of lightly toasted, freshly buttered bread make this the ideal Champagne to get the juices, and the conversation, flowing.
“Crafted with consummate precision from 100% Grand Cru fruit, Mailly Brut Reserve epitomizes our particular style of winemaking essential in a market that generally judges a House’s performance by the quality of its Brut NV Champagne.”
COMPOSITION:
Pinot Noir 75%
Chardonnay 25%
WINEMAKING PROCESS:
Manual picking, whole cluster pressing. Alcoholic fermentation at 15° and malolactic in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks and barrels. Ageing on laths in traditional chalk cellars.
BLENDING:
Mailly Brut Réserve draws its complexity from a rich blend of base wines from more than 600 plots, combined with some 30-40 per cent of tank and oak-aged reserve wines from 10 different vintages.
PAIRING WITH FOOD:
Mailly Brut Reserve is the perfect aperitif – a must for a celebratory Champagne lunch or romantic champagne dinner. Also a very good choice for a cocktail dinner party. This is a champagne made for convivial get-togethers, a particular favourite with pike-perch on a bed of leeks, chicken supreme, creamy Chaource cheese or apple pie and ice-cream.
SCORE:
92 Points
