About Nicolas Maillart Champagne Platine 1er Cru Extra Brut Blanc

It is likely that critic Stephan Reinhardt (whose recommendations can be read in The Wine Advocate) is one of the individuals most knowledgeable about and experienced in tasting French wines. Any of his recommendations should be taken seriously, especially when he highlights a wine that should not be overlooked. One such essential recommendation: Nicolas Maillart Champagne Platine 1er Cru Extra Brut Blanc.

To better understand Reinhardt's recommendation and the universe surrounding this sparkling wine, we must begin by discussing Nicolas Maillart, the creator of this marvel, who represents the ninth generation of a family of vintners producing sparkling wines in northwestern France since the 18th century, specifically in the AOC Champagne region, right in the Montagne de Reims area. These 300 years have allowed the family to become intimately familiar with the best soils and vineyard orientations of the region, expertly managing the premiers and grands crus of this area where primarily Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Petit Meslier grow. The latter is a particularly rare grape variety, typical of northern France, which is scarcely cultivated today and which Nicolas Maillart is determined to revive. For this task, he will rely on sustainable viticulture, manual labour, and the ploughing of the 16 hectares of vineyards.

The harvest is conducted early in the morning to prevent the grapes from losing their qualities during transport to the winery. Here, the grape clusters receive special attention, as all varieties will be vinified separately, in a very gentle and careful manner, aiming to preserve all the richness and qualities during fermentation. After this initial phase, and following the addition of the liqueur de tirage, Nicolas Maillart Champagne Platine 1er Cru Extra Brut Blanc will undergo a second fermentation in the bottle and an ageing period of 3 years on the lees.

This entire process, from the vineyard to bottling, is meticulously managed, always striving for perfection. Only in this way can the quality shine through in every bottle of Nicolas Maillart Champagne Platine 1er Cru Extra Brut Blanc that is uncorked.
