Product details
Nicolas Maillart, a ninth-generation winemaker from a family with 300 years of sparkling wine expertise in the Montagne de Reims, A.O.C. Champagne, crafts the exceptional Champagne Platine 1.er Cru Extra Brut Blanc. Focusing on sustainable viticulture across 16 hectares of premier and grand cru vineyards, Maillart cultivates rare varieties like Petit Meslier alongside Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The grapes are harvested early and vinified with great care, ensuring quality throughout the process. After fermentation, the champagne undergoes a second fermentation in the bottle and a 3-year aging on the lees, resulting in a refined, exquisite wine.
The palate is greeted with vibrant notes of fresh pineapple and sudachi zest, enhanced by a creamy, delicate texture. It offers a persistent finish with a finely chiseled structure. The fruity intensity shines, balanced by elegant hints of nuts and stone fruits like greengage and crisp cherries. Subtle layers of baked goods—crepe batter and puffed cereals—unfold gracefully, creating a nuanced and prolonged development. The aroma is exceptional, delivering a refreshing and refined purity with sophisticated depth.
