Mailly Grand Cru's signature Extra Brut 2011 is a cuvée whose aim is to reflect the history of a vintage on the Mailly-Champagne terroir. The cellar master plays with the village's 35 lieux-dits, a mosaic of parcels, to create a subtle, gourmet cuvée.
All the parcels that go to make up this Blanc de Noirs have been harvested and pressed separately, so that each can assert its singularity.
Produced at a very low dosage (Extra Brut) to highlight rather than mask the asperities of the 2011 vintage, this cuvée is aged in stainless steel tanks to preserve its freshness and expressiveness.
Extra Brut 2011 Mailly Grand Cru is a cuvée with generous, gourmet aromas of ripe fruit, hazelnut and viennoiserie. Its tonic unctuousness, carried by the roundness of the Pinot Noir, asserts itself in a saline finish.
An excellent aperitif bottle.
