Nicolas Maillart took over the family estate in 2003. Trained as an oenologist, he directed the range towards ripe, fruity and complex champagnes, in particular thanks to the arrival at the estate of oak barrels.
The vineyard, mainly located at Ecueil in the Montagne de Reims, is dominated by Pinot Noir. This allows Nicolas Maillart to develop intense, expressive cuvées, with a touch of this characteristic touch of vinosity.
Two cuvées stand out in particular, the Chaillots Gillis, an extra-brut d'Ecueil chardonnay vinified in barrels, and the Francs de Pied, a Pinot noir on sands planted in 1973 and not grafted, a rarity. Two cuvées which signify the house style.
