Mailly Grand Cru

Poétique de la Terre - Variation XVI.1 | Bottle 75cl

Description

Mailly Grand Cru's Poétique de la Terre cuvée is a champagne in a class of its own. It's a cuvée designed to highlight the identity of the Pinots Noirs from the Mailly Grand Cru terroir, vinified in wood.

The finest Pinots Noirs from Mailly-Champagne have been chosen for this cuvée. Pinots Noirs from the very fine 2016 harvest (70%) were combined with the Pinot Noir reserve. A third of the wine was vinified in wood, then bottled. The cuvée then spent 7 years in the chalky cellars of Mailly.

Another special feature of this cuvée is that it was marketed in two stages. The first half of the 6792 bottles produced will be launched in 2023. This is Variation 1, while the second half will age for several more years before being offered in a more mature, aromatic expression.

La Poétique de la Terre VXI.1 Mailly Grand Cru has a deep gold color and fine bubbles.

On the nose, it offers toasty, roasted and fruity notes.

On the palate, we find the energy of the great Pinots, followed by the roundness of wood ageing. Fruity and well-balanced on the palate.

A great champagne to match characterful dishes.
