The village of Mailly was classified Grand Cru at the beginning of the 20th century. This is where Champagne Mailly is located, in the heart of Montagne de Reims and precisely 14km from the eponymous town.
Founded in 1929 by several winegrowing families, its history is resolutely distinctive, illustrating the ambition and dynamism that has always reigned in the Champagne region. Today, Maison Mailly continues to shine thanks to its splendid cuvées that combine finesse and elegance.
When the Great Depression hit France in 1929, a total of 25 winegrowing families decided to face up to it by joining forces. They founded the Société de Producteurs de Mailly Champagne and chose to make Champagne wines using only grapes from their village classified as Grand Cru, with the aim of glorifying this terroir already considered exceptional at the time. Brought together by these difficult beginnings, the winemakers succeeded in making their Champagne known throughout France, and from the 1960s onwards, the commercial expansion of Maison Mailly became a great success.
The village of Mailly is surrounded by the famous Grands Crus de Ludes, Verzenay and Verzy. Maison Mailly currently has 70 hectares of vines in this village alone. The grape varieties are 75% Pinot Noir and... See more ...
It is a champagne made only during very great years with exceptional climatic conditions. It is a blend champagne coming exclusively from Grand Cru classified villages and 75% planted with Pinot Noir grapes and 25% with Chardonnay grapes. The cuvée is vintage.
The harvest is manual and the Cellar Master carried out the double alcoholic and malolactic fermentation.
The edition is limited and operated in special numbered bottles. The bottles are then taken down to the cellar and placed on slats, sheltered from light and noise for optimal aging.
The name of the cuvée "les échansons" is a nod to the name given to the Officer in charge of the wine service at the court of the Kings of France. He was responsible for managing the cellar, choosing the wines and tasting them to make them appreciated.
The color is bright gold with amber reflections.
The first attack on the nose reveals aromas of pears and plums with a few touches of Menton lemons and mandarins harmoniously melted in delicate notes of almonds, pastries, acacia honey and caramel.
The palate is a real kaleidoscope of flavors of small red berries such as black cherry from Itxassou from the Basque Country, wild strawberry, gariguette or marrât from Dordogne, gently underlined by buttery, spicy notes with a pleasantly mineral finish.
Food / wine pairing: an exceptional Grand Cru to pair with langoustine ravioli, lobster risotto or pan-fried foie gras (a very quick turn just golden) or scallops with truffles, not to mention a chicken de Bresse with morels or even some small game birds.
