Nicolas Maillart - Extra Brut Platine 1er Cru
90/100
Wine Spectator
Pinot Noir is the dominant variety here, complemented by Chardonnay, which brings freshness to the blend. The high proportion of reserve wines (30 to 40%), aged in barrels, lends this Extra Brut Platine great consistency and character.

About the estate:
Since the 16th century, the Maillart family has been growing grapes on the northern slopes of the Montagne de Reims. Nicolas represents a generation that seeks to move forward by developing a range of champagnes with a stronger sense of identity—the very qualities that have made winemaker champagnes so successful.
