Mailly

MAILLY Grand Cru is one of the few Champagne estates made of 100% of Grand Cru. Our vineyards extend over more than 70 hectares, located wholly in the Village of Mailly Champagne in the heart of the Montagne de Reims nature park. 

Plantings consist of 75% Pinot Noir and 25% Chardonnay, the unusual freshness of the Pinot Noir marrying beautifully with the Chardonnay. Vineyard aspects facing the four points of the compass impart unique characteristics to the Mailly Grand Cru terroir.

Grapes from selected parcels from our 35 lieux-dits are harvested, pressed and vinified separately in small tanks or casks. Each parcel has its own unique expression, providing the Cellar Master with a range of exceptional still wines from the most recent vintage. 

And therein lies the key to successful blending: in this palette of aromas and nuances, made richer still by our impressive collection of reserve wines. These are still wines from more than ten different vintages, carefully matured in our cellars and classified according to year of harvest and variety. Reserve wines represent the backbone of our non-vintage Champagnes, ensuring a consistent style from year to year. 

Some of our cuvees are singled out by our Cellar Master for aging in oak barrels using the “solera” or “perpetual reserve” system.
