Mailly
The village of Mailly was classified Grand Cru at the beginning of the 20th century. This is where Champagne Mailly is located, in the heart of Montagne de Reims and precisely 14km from the eponymous town.
Founded in 1929 by several winegrowing families, its history is resolutely distinctive, illustrating the ambition and dynamism that has always reigned in the Champagne region. Today, Maison Mailly continues to shine thanks to its splendid cuvées that combine finesse and elegance.

When the Great Depression hit France in 1929, a total of 25 winegrowing families decided to face up to it by joining forces. They founded the Société de Producteurs de Mailly Champagne and chose to make Champagne wines using only grapes from their village classified as Grand Cru, with the aim of glorifying this terroir already considered exceptional at the time.

Description Mailly Brut Réserve.
This champagne is elaborated from grape harvests of villages exclusively classified Grand Cru at the top of the qualitative hierarchy of champagnes.
It is composed of 75% Pinot Noir and 25% Chardonnay: a remarkable balance.
The harvest is done manually on 480 plots, a guarantee of quality and follow-up. Alcoholic and malolactic fermentations are done in thermoregulation, which contributes to decrease the acidity level of the wine.
Then the wine will age for part on laths under ground in traditional chalk pits and for the other part in barrels which will constitute the reserve wines.
To be enjoyed with a tulip-shaped flute at around 10 to 12°C.
Perfect as an aperitif and throughout a lunch or dinner with a pikeperch on a bed of leeks, a chicken supreme, a fresh chaource and at the end of the meal on an apple pie.
