Brut Réserve
Iridescent golden yellow tones, full, fruity nose, clean palate. A very come-hither Champagne: racy, elegant and deeply sensual, with beguiling bubbles that literally burst with luscious fruit. Mouth-watering hints of lightly toasted, freshly buttered bread make this the ideal Champagne to get the juices, and the conversation, flowing.
“Crafted with consummate precision from 100% Grand Cru fruit, Mailly Brut Reserve epitomizes our particular style of winemaking essential in a market that generally judges a House’s performance by the quality of its Brut NV Champagne.”
