Mailly Grand Cru

Exception Blanche 2016 | Bottle 75cl - Presentation pack

Description

The 2016 Exception Blanche completes the Maison Mailly Grand Cru range, incorporating grapes from another terroir into its blend for the first time. Exception Blanche is therefore composed of 50% Chardonnays from the estate, blended with 50% Chardonnays from Grands Crus plots in the Côte des Blancs in a vintage that was exceptional for its generous harvest, perfect health, and beautiful ripeness.

This cuvée reveals a golden yellow color, sparkling with green-gold highlights and dotted with fine, abundant bubbles.

The nose opens with elegant citrus notes, then evolves towards a touch of white fruit. After a few minutes, the aromatic palette enriches and reveals more pastry notes.

The palate is extremely delicate, starting with a lively, frank attack, then rounding out in the mid-palate, with a chiseled texture highlighting chalky and lemony notes.

Exception Blanche 2016 is a full-bodied, powerful and distinguished Champagne that will brighten up high-end aperitifs, accompanying oysters and caviar to bring out its minerality.

Limited production in special numbered white bottles.
