On the palate, this champagne offers a richness and a silky texture, precisely combining the minerality of the vintage with the blossoming richness of the vintage. Precise and full, it is an absolute reference for any connoisseur in search of excellence.

With a plantation comprising 75% Pinot Noir and 25% Chardonnay, these hillside vineyards, resting on chalk soils, benefit from optimal sunshine which promotes perfect ripening of the grapes. Today, no fewer than 80 winegrowers are passionately dedicated to maintaining this emblematic Champagne vineyard. Below these prodigious lands, the Maison Mailly Grand Cru proudly houses 7 floors of cellars and 1 kilometer of chalk pits. Dug by hand between 1929 and 1965 by the pioneering winegrowers of the cooperative. These chalk cellars offer an ideal environment for aging the vintages, with vaults designed specifically for this purpose. Each cuvée from Maison Mailly Grand Cru uniquely reflects the grandeur of its chalky terroir, each sharing their own freshness. The Blanc de Pinot Noir Grand Cru cuvée is an explosion of liveliness, indulgence and expressiveness, ideal for opening festivities with an aperitif or to enhance a gourmet meal. La Blanche embodies the excellence of Blanc de Blancs Champagne. Composed of equal parts Chardonnay from the estate and the prestigious Côte des Blancs in Grand Cru, this champagne is distinguished by its roundness, minerality and fruity expression, thus enchanting all lovers of bubbles. Finally, the Les Echansons 2012 cuvée, a true gem reflecting the best of the Mailly terroir in the great years.
