Mailly Grand Cru Exception Blanche 2016

From Maison Mailly Grand Cru in Mailly-Champagne, Montagne de Reims, the Exception Blanche 2016 is a refined 100% Chardonnay, blending 50% estate fruit with 50% Côte des Blancs Grand Cru grapes. Sourced from 70-year-old vines on chalky soils, it’s hand-harvested and aged on lees in chalk cellars, offering a straw yellow hue with fine bubbles and vibrant complexity.

Tasting Notes

A refined, elegant sparkling wine with vibrant citrus and mineral finesse, showcasing Champagne’s terroir.
The nose reveals white peach, candied citrus, and lime blossom, with hints of brioche, hazelnut, and bergamot. On the palate, it’s medium-bodied and delicate, with crisp acidity, a creamy mousse, and flavors of chalky minerality, almond, and a long, saline finish.

Awards and Accolades

The 2016 Exception Blanche earned 95 points from Wine Enthusiast for its crisp, mineral-driven elegance in the 2016 vintage.
