Producer Champagne Nicolas Maillart

FRANCE, CHAMPAGNE

The history of the Maillart family dates back to 1753, when they began cultivating vines in the nearby village of Chamery. Today with Nicolas we have reached the ninth generation. After completing his studies in engineering and oenology, he returns home in 2023 to manage the family business. From the outset, it was committed to practicing sustainable production and viticulture, and after a long ecological-environmental approach, the Maillart maison was certified as HVE (High Environmental Value). The company owns only Premier and Grand Cru vineyards on the hills of Reims and the vineyards are mostly planted with Pinot Noir, with the remainder raised in Chardonnay and Pinot meunier. In the cellar, the vinification and maturation are carried out both in steel tanks and in wooden barrels, depending on the origin of the grapes. The "reserve" wines are also partially aged in cask to increase their complexity. When the time comes to create the cuvee, having a wide variety of wines to choose from, there is the possibility of creating Champagnes of a constant quality, while also being able to keep those that are very original and particularly expressive, i.e. the best "millesimati".
