Nicolas Maillart'sBrut Rosé Premier Cru magnum is a subtle and elegant expression of rosé Champagne. Made from a rigorous selection of old Pinot Noir vines from the prestigious terroirs of Bouzy and Villers-Allerand, this cuvée reflects Nicolas Maillart's mastery of winemaking. A delicate, lightly dosed rosé in a magnum format that is ideal for special occasions.
Precise winemaking in the heart of the Premiers and Grands Crus
Nicolas Maillart's Brut Rosé 1er Cru is a blend of 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Chardonnay. The grapes come mainly from Bouzy (95%), renowned for the power of its Pinot Noir, and Villers-Allerand (5%), which brings a welcome freshness. The grapes are picked early in the morning and sorted before undergoing a short maceration to obtain a light, subtle pink color.
Vinification takes place entirely in oak barrels, with partial malolactic fermentation to preserve the wine's lively character and add depth. The dosage is deliberately minimal (1 g/l) to allow the purity of the fruit to shine through.
A terroir with character
This rosé is born on clay-limestone soils that give the cuvée beautiful tension and a subtle mineral expression. These characteristics, combined with careful aging in barrels, give rise to a refined and structured wine that can accompany any meal.
