The 2020 Les Jolivettes is one of Nicolas Maillart's purest and most distinctive expressions, a Grand Cru Champagne from the prestigious village of Bouzy , in the Montagne de Reims. Here, the Pinot Noir reaches extraordinary levels of quality thanks to the chalky soils, cool climate, and ideal exposure, which yield intense, deep wines that are simultaneously vibrant with freshness.

The cuvée comes from a single parcel, Les Jolivettes , cultivated with great attention to soil vitality and sustainability. The precise and respectful vinification involves fermentation in stainless steel and partly in wood, enhancing structure and complexity without weighing down the aromatic profile. The long aging on the lees allows for elegance, creaminess, and an extremely fine perlage.

In the glass it presents a luminous golden yellow . On the nose, notes of small red fruits, ripe citrus fruits, white flowers, mineral hints and delicate nuances of pastry emerge. The sip is full and energetic: tension, minerality and structure blend in a rare balance, culminating in a long, clean and extremely refined finish.
