Monday, September 11, 2023 - I am a huge fan of producers like UC, Prevost, Bouchard. I love the approach of making 'wine' with bubbles in Champagne that are single grape variety, single vineyard and primarily single vintage. It makes for a singular experience.
The Maillons is a wine as much as it's Champagne, it's bold with orange flavors dominating. It lacks finesse for a bottle selling for over $200. And that is the point. It's great, but at over $200 is not good value. There are better choices out there at the current price point.
