The 2016 Les Maillerettes is very fragrant. Fruity aromas on the nose, accompanied by hints of spice and notes of chalk.On the palate the wine is fresh, saline, persistent.

Reviews:

• Wine & Spirits: This wine is monumental, its stark acidity completely cloaked in fresh apple and pear-like fruit. Theres a hint of tannins from the pinot noir grape skins, and a touch of bitterness to balance the sweetness of the fruit, bringing out a brisk minerality that corrals the broad flavors of the wine and holds them tense.

Producer Information

Bouzy is located in the heart of the Montagne de Reims, a renowned Grand Cru for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The Paillard family settled here in the early 18th century. Eight generations later, they have become an independent Family House, ambitious in its vine-growing expectations. Respect of the soil, control of the yields, vinification per plot and long ageing are the important characteristics of our wines and the motivations behind their daily work.All of their champagnes are produced from their grapes grown on one of the most prestigious Grand Cru terroirs in Champagne.
