Mailly Blanc de Pinot Noir Champagne AOC Grand Cru Brut 0,75 ℓ

The Champagne Grand Cru is a Blanc de Pinot Noir produced by the Mailly maison, whose foundation dates back to 1929 and which represents one of the oldest cooperatives in the Champagne region. In its beginnings, the cooperative, made up of 24 winemakers, did not have its own cellar, which was therefore dug under the guidance of its president and engineer, Gabriel Simon. Under his leadership, the winemakers dug an underground space of 15 meters, 19 meters deep, with shovels and picks in two years. The wine is made from Pinot Noir grapes in purity. The wine from the first pressing is aged separately in vats and barrels according to the solera method. The ageing on the lees takes place in the characteristic chalk hollows. The wine is straw yellow in colour and has a fine and persistent perlage. On the nose, there are fruity hints of ripe citrus and tropical fruit. The sip is full and savoury, with a spicy finish. This Champagne is excellent throughout the meal and for example in combination with Tandoori chicken and semi-aged and soft cheeses.
