Champagne AOC Brut Grand Cru Rosé de Mailly

Rosé de Mailly is a champagne 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.

Rosé de Mailly is mainly composed of Pinot Noir grapes, with a small percentage of Chardonnay. After the manual harvest, the grapes are de-stemmed and crushed, undergoing a maceration of about 24 hours. The vinification takes place in stainless steel tanks at a temperature of 15 °C, with subsequent ageing on the lees in the characteristic gypsum hollows.

The wine is bright pink in colour. The nose reveals the aromas of spring flowers, fruity notes of raspberry, cherry and citrus. The sip is juicy and dynamic.

This Champagne is excellent in combination with cold cuts appetizers, roasted white meats, poultry and with desserts based on wild berries.
