The estate
Founded in 1929 by twenty-four winegrowers united in the face of economic hardship, Mailly Grand Cru remains an exceptional Champagne cooperative located in the Montagne de Reims. Today, it brings together grower-owners cultivating vineyards classified as Grand Cru within the Mailly area. This remarkable geographical singularity, combined with a grape composition dominated by pinot noir and chardonnay on chalky terroir, gives this Champagne House its unique identity, based on a historic cooperative model and an exceptional terroir.
The vineyard
Mailly Grand Cru oversees a 70-hectare terroir spread across more than 600 plots. 80 winegrowers pay meticulous attention to this exceptional Champagne terroir.
The cuvée
This Rosé de Mailly is crafted from vines growing exclusively on the Grand Cru slopes of the Mailly commune, in the Montagne de Reims. These outstanding chalky terroirs, favorably exposed, allow the pinot noir and chardonnay varietals to fully express their character and aromatic potential. Its dosage is 8 g/L.
Winemaking and aging
Manual harvest followed by careful sorting. Several hours of maceration before alcoholic fermentation at 15°C and malolactic fermentation in stainless steel vats. Aging on lees.
Grape varieties
Pinot noir (90%) vinified by the saignée method from old vines, complemented by just the right proportion of chardonnay and pinot noir vinified as red wine.
