Mailly Grand Cru : Brut Réserve

The elegance and fruitiness of a Brut Champagne by Mailly Grand Cru

The producer

Located in the heart of the Montagne de Reims, the Mailly Grand Cru Champagne House is unique due to both its terroir, which provides finesse and balance to the wines, and its contemporary history.

The year 1929 is marked by the creation of the Société de Producteurs de Mailly Champagne, established as a means to face the economic crisis that arose after the First World War. Several winegrowers joined forced and focused on producing sophisticated vintages which highlight their terroir,  a Grand Cru Classé en 1920.

Fresh and expressing a beautiful minerality, Mailly Grand Cru Champagne House’s wines are renowned for their balance, their bold style and their great elegance.

The vineyard

The Mailly Grand Cru Champagne House watches over a 70-hectare terroir, spread over more than 600 plots. 80 winegrowers pay rigorous attention to this exceptional terroir.

The wine

The vinification and ageing

The grapes are harvested by hand. Exclusively using the first press. Alcoholic and malolactic fermentation in temperature-regulated stainless steel tanks and in barrels. Ageing is carried out on laths in traditional chalk quarries.
