How to serve it
Tasting notes
Deep gold with fine, lazy bubbles. A mature nose of dried apricot, candied orange, roasted hazelnut, honey and mushroom. The palate is broad and silky, with gentle effervescence, soft acidity and a long, toasty, savoury finish. A Champagne already at its peak.
About this wine
Mailly Grand Cru was founded in 1929 and remains a growers' cooperative drawing exclusively on Grand Cru vineyards in the single village of Mailly, on the cool northern flank of the Montagne de Reims.
Les Échansons is the house's prestige cuvée, made only in the best years from the oldest vines, with Pinot Noir in the majority and Chardonnay completing the blend. The wine spends around a decade maturing on its lees in the chalk cellars dug by the founding members before it is disgorged.
It is Mailly at its most serious, and it rewards the wait.
