Nose is pears, brioche, and a mild salinity. Sweetness of crisp yellow apples and pears, balanced by the bright acidity of lemon zest, with a hint of earthy mushrooms. Well balanced. Refreshing. Medium length finish with a trace of lemon and yellow apple.

Wine Tasting Nightmare (Total Wine, Tempe, AZ): I have never tasted a Mailly Champagne I liked. This producer threw the time-honored Champagne flavor profiles out the window to make what they must think us crazy Americans will buy! Champagne should be clean and crisp and the bubbles should dance on your tongue. This was their Demi-Sec (slightly sweet) variety. The wine was thick and rich and cloyingly sweet. It had a strong bitter aftertaste. The typical yeasty smell of some champagnes was on the nose, but on the palate it seemed to add a buttery character to the wine. Save your money and buy some Mumm Cuvee instead, or spend a little extra to buy a Piper-Heidsieck Cuvee.
