Cuvée Les Echansons is the crowning achievement of Mailly Grand Cru. It reflects not only the expertise of the cellar master, but also the excellence of Mailly's Grand Cru terroirs. It's a cuvée that goes equally well with a fine aperitif or gourmet dishes such as langoustine ravioli or scallops with truffles.
Les Echansons 2008 Mailly Grand Cru is a blend of 75% Pinot Noir and 25% Chardonnay. It's a cuvée that's only made during the very best vintages. The cellar master selects the most elegant Chardonnays and the most powerful, racy Pinot Noirs.
This is a champagne with an intense golden color and numerous fine bubbles.
Les Echansons 2008 reveals a nose reminiscent of citrus fruits, candied zests and a hint of pastry. On the second nose, spicy aromas emerge.
On the palate, this is a rich, silky cuvée, revealing powerful aromatic notes, contrasting with a finish that underlines the minerality of the Mailly terroir.
