Brut Réserve
DiscoverOur
cuvées
Our wines owe their character to the fruit of a single Grand Cru estate: a vineyard composed of 35 lieux-dits (named vineyard parcels) with exposure to all four cardinal points.
Mailly’s chalky subsoil brings out a unique mineral freshness in the Pinot Noir–a slightly saline crispness that marries beautifully with the finesse of the Chardonnay.
And there you have it – the spirit and style of Mailly in a nutshell.
POÉTIQUE
DE LA TERRE
All the fleshy fruit characteristic of Pinot Noir, but given even greater depth here by barrel maturation, toasty notes mingling with an array of aromas to create a zestiness true to the character of the grape. The palate unfolds with exuberant restraint, flexing its terroir muscle just enough to counterbalance an opulent core of fruit that carries the wine through to a lacy finish.
« Poétique de la terre is a tribute to craftsmanship true to its roots. Available in two variations (two maturity peaks), this is a Champagne that will play on a wide range of emotions. »
