Champagne AOC Grand Cru Brut Réserve Mailly

Champagne Grand Cru Brut Réserve is 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 a blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes. After the manual harvest, the grapes are pressed in whole bunches. The vinification takes place in stainless steel tanks and barrels at a temperature of 15 °C, with subsequent ageing on the lees in the characteristic gypsum hollows.

The wine is golden yellow in colour and has a fine and persistent perlage. On the nose, there are hints of fruit and toasted bread. The sip is creamy and harmonious.

This Champagne is excellent in combination with fish dishes and creamy cheeses.
