Mailly Grand Cru Exception Blanche
TASTING NOTES
Golden tones with green accents highlight the constant flow of bubbles. The aroma is a combination of candied citrus and white peaches, apples, ginger and lime. The taste is delicate - on the one hand chalky and lemon notes with mineral hues, on the other almonds, nectarines and bergamot.
Serving temperature: 10ºC
THE WINERY
The Mailly Grand Cru estate extends across 70
hectares, entirely located in the Grand Cru village of Mailly Champagne, at the
heart of the Montagne de Reims nature park. Grapes have been
grown in Mailly for centuries, since before the building of Reims Cathedral in the
13th Century.
VINEYARDS
