Champagne, FranceThis intense negoc champagne is an 78/16/8 pinot noir/chardonnay/meunier cuvee sourced entirely from grand and premiers crus in the Montagne de Reims, and based (35 percent) on the 2014 vintage. Traditionally, the whole is plumped with 30-40 percent barrel aged reserve wines, spends a period rounding three years on the lees, and finishes off with 6 g/l dosage. My bottle was disgorged in January 2018. In contrast to type, this is a energetic and tighter wine, with skippy lemon driving the toasted brioche, red apple, red liquorice kissed palate. Acidity is crunchy, welcoming both solo sipping and partnering with prawns through pork.Tasted: 02 November 2018Tasted by: Prices:

Champagne, FranceA 80/20 pinot noir/chardonnay is splashed with pinot meunier and amped with 40% barrel-aged reserve wines before a rest of two years on the lees and 8 g/l dosage. Expect a richer, full-bodied style with dough, crunchy acidity, red apple and more toast. It all finishes with a medicinal cherry note and some sweet citrus flavours. Well made and characteristic of the Maillart house style.Tasted: 05 December 2016Tasted by: Prices:
