Description

The Nicolas Maillard Champagne Brut Platine embodies the essence of Champagne, blending finesse and depth. This wine reflects the style of the estate, which values a balance between aromatic intensity and delicate minerality, achieved through meticulous winemaking and a terroir well-suited for crafting distinctive Champagnes.

Blend

This classic blend combines the richness of Pinot Noir, the elegance of Chardonnay, and the softness of Pinot Meunier, bringing a remarkable complexity and depth to the wine’s aromatic profile.

Tasting Notes

Appearance: Pale yellow with golden hues, crossed by fine and persistent bubbles, indicating its youth and vivacity.

Nose: A complex and enticing bouquet of fresh citrus fruits such as lemon and grapefruit, complemented by aromas of lightly toasted brioche and hints of white fruits like apple and pear. This refined nose evokes vibrant freshness with subtle floral touches and notes of hazelnut.

Palate: The attack is lively and crisp, revealing a creamy texture and a beautiful structure. Citrus and white fruit flavors extend on the palate, supported by refined minerality and hints of sweet almond. The finish is long, clean, and marked by a refreshing lemony touch, delivering a pure and elegant sensation.

Aging Potential

This Champagne can be enjoyed immediately for its freshness, but it has an aging potential of 3 to 5 years, allowing the flavors to gain complexity over time.

Food Pairing

Ideal as an aperitif or with delicate dishes such as seafood, shellfish (oysters, lobster), and fine fish (smoked salmon, scallop carpaccio). It also pairs beautifully with fresh cheeses or light hors d’oeuvres, offering a refined match with its vivacity and persistence on the palate.
