Nicolas Maillart took over the family estate in 2003. Trained as an oenologist, he directed the range towards ripe, fruity and complex champagnes, in particular thanks to the arrival at the estate of oak barrels. The vineyard, mainly located at Ecueil in the Montagne de Reims, is dominated by Pinot Noir. This allows Nicolas Maillart to develop intense, expressive cuvées, with a touch of this characteristic touch of vinosity. Two cuvées stand out in particular, the Chaillots Gillis, an extra-brut d'Ecueil chardonnay vinified in barrels, and the Francs de Pied, a Pinot noir on sands planted in 1973 and not grafted, a rarity. Two cuvées which signify the house style.
« A deep and complex cuvée, ideal as an aperitif for 2 »
« Very expressive nose with notes of ripe fruit, vinous and ample attack »
« A magnum in a light dosage, fresh and creamy, ideal to share as an aperitif »
« A rich 1er Cru with fine and persistent bubbles »
« This Grand Cru signed Maillart has a deep rosé color, sprinkled with fine bubbles »
« The marriage of Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier vinified partly in wood. Grandiose! »
« A fine and elegant cuvée with delicate aromas »
« A cuvée that is both fruity, mineral and carried by a touch of iodine »
