Nicolas Maillart - Extra Brut Platine 1er Cru
90/100
Wine Spectator
Pinot Noir dominates here, complemented by Chardonnay, which brings freshness to the blend. The high proportion of reserve wines (30 to 40%), aged in barrels, gives this Extra Brut Platine great consistency and style. The fresh and vinous attack on the palate reveals a rich champagne, supported by great freshness and consistency...

About the estate:
Since the 16th century, the Maillart family has been cultivating vines on the northern slopes of the Montagne de Reims. Nicolas embodies a generation that wants to evolve by developing a range of champagnes with a stronger identity, which are the key to the success of winegrowers' champagnes.
