Mailly like to make the occasional exception, just as they like to make the (more than) occasional exceptional wine. This is 50% Pinot Noir from the village of Mailly…so far, so normal, but also 50% Chardonnay from Avize, the Grand Cru village in the Côte de Blancs. The Chardonnay adds buttery hazelnut richness to the more usual biscuit and savoury descriptors associated with this house.

Great Yeast notes on the nose and flavor just wish it had more fruit.

An enjoyable champagne to be sure, but certainly not worth $80...buy their NV brut instead.

Lovely. Crisp, elegant, stony citrusy chardonnay based champagne. However, there are better blanc de blancs out there for the price.
