Mailly-Champagne
Mailly-Champagne is a Grand Cru village on the Montagne de Reims with a strong Pinot Noir identity. Its wines and base wines can combine red cherry, currant, spice, chalk, and a firm frame that is valuable in blends as well as village wines. The village is less universally recognized by casual drinkers than Bouzy or Verzenay, but it belongs to the same Grand Cru conversation for Pinot Noir-focused Champagne. It is a useful reference point for structured, chalk-influenced Pinot Noir from the Montagne de Reims.
Notable Rules
Grand Cru village at the 100% level of Champagne's historic village-classification scale; it remains part of the broader Champagne AOC.
Also Known As
