About Champagne Nicolas Maillart Chaillots Gillis 1er Cru 2012
Bottle (75cl)

Nicolas Maillart's Chaillots Gillis 2012 cuvée is made exclusively of Chardonnay from two hillside parcels located respectively at "les Chaillots" and "les Gillis". The Chardonnay vines are about 40 years old on average and are grown using a biodynamic approach, with respect for biodiversity.

Champagne Nicolas Maillart Chaillots Gillis Premier Cru is an exceptional cuvee that is only produced in the best vintages. The 2012 vintage was vinified in oak barrels then aged on lees for six months (with stirring).

In the glass, the Champagne Nicolas Maillart Chaillots Gillis Premier Cru 2012 has a magnificent intense golden colour. It diffuses a fine and harmonious effervescence forming a light and elegant mantle of foam.
Powerful from the first nose, it distils a frank and rich bouquet of white fruits, fresh citrus fruits, zest and woody touches. A mineral touch emerges after a few seconds of aeration.
On the palate, Champagne Nicolas Maillart Chaillots Gillis Premier Cru 2012 offers an impressive attack of freshness. The mid-palate reveals a harmonious richness and complexity. Ripe white fruits mingle with notes of acidic citrus fruits and fresh zest in perfect balance to finish on a remarkably long and persistent finish with a subtle aftertaste of liquorice.

Champagne Nicolas Maillart Chaillots Gillis 2012 is best enjoyed as an aperitif, but can also go wonderfully well with a seafood platter.
