Nicolas Maillart

Brut Rosé 1er Cru | Bottle 75cl

Description

The Brut Rosé Grand Cru from Maison Maillart is a champagne of great aromatic amplitude, with intense notes of red fruit that will pair perfectly with a gourmet aperitif or a red-fruit dessert.

This is a rosé de saignée, i.e. a champagne whose color and aromas are obtained by slow maceration of the grapes.

The Pinot Noirs used for maceration come from the Bouzy terroir, probably the largest terroir for this grape variety. A touch of Chardonnay adds freshness and minerality.

Partially aged in oak, this Brut Rosé Grand Cru benefits from a touch of complexity. The dosage is low, around 1g/l, to preserve the expressiveness and power of the Bouzy terroir.

Maillart's Brut Rosé Grand Cru is a deep rosé color, dotted with fine bubbles.

The nose reveals notes of red fruits and wild berries, evolving towards a lightly spicy touch reminiscent of vanilla.

On the palate, Brut Rosé Grand Cru has a fresh, intense attack, followed by distinctly fruity aromas. This is a cuvée with good length and a fresh, gourmet finish.
