Brut Réserve Grand Cru

The Brut Réserve is the entry point to the pure grand cru range of Mailly Grand Cru. The grapes come exclusively from grand cru villages, 75% Pinot Noir and 25% Chardonnay. For this cuvée, 480 plots are picked by hand. Part of the wines age in bottle in traditional chalk cellars, part in French oak, where they form the reserve wines.

The nose is open, with mirabelle plum, pear and a hint of lightly toasted bread. On the palate it starts open and fruity, with striking finesse. That makes it a clear choice as an aperitif, but it also accompanies a festive lunch or dinner for two. The house recommends 10 to 12 °C. A white wine glass with a wide bowl lets the fruit and the toasty notes come through.
