Mailly Grand Cru

Exception Blanche 2016 | Bottle 75cl - Presentation pack

Description

Cuvée Exception Blanche 2016 completes the Maison Mailly Grand Cru range by incorporating grapes from another terroir into the blend for the first time. Exception Blanche is composed of 50% estate-grown Chardonnays, blended with 50% Chardonnays from Côte des Blancs Grands Crus parcels, in an exceptional vintage for its generous, perfectly healthy, very ripe harvest.

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 becomes richer, with more pastry-like notes.

The palate is extremely delicate, starting with a lively, straightforward attack, then rounding out on the mid-palate, its chiseled texture underlining chalky, lemony notes.

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

Limited edition in special white bottles, all numbered.
