A Cooperative established in 1929, the Champagne House of Mailly Grand
Cru that groups 80 wine growers produces and sells around 600,000 bottles a
year, obtained exclusively from 70 hectares of vineyards, consisting of 480
plots, cultivated with 75% Chardonnay and 25% Pinot Noir, classified Grand

Its look is simple and luxurious,
in an elegant, numbered white glass bottle (17,319 bottles produced), encased in
a magnificent box.
Appearance
:
·
Gold
·
Fine perlage
·
Subtle bead
·
Limpid and bright
Nose :
·
Mighty and structured, a source of immediate and
intense pleasure
·
The first nose is marked by hazelnut, caramel, roasted
coffee, butter and chocolate, expressed by the great maturity of this
Champagne, the result of yeast autolysis during lengthy ageing sur lattes
of the bottles before disgorgement (4 years)
·
The nose then reveals aromas of candied citrus fruits
(lemon, grapefruit) and mirabelle plum
Palate
:
·
Intense attack, mineral and clean, an
expression of the 40% Chardonnay of this Cuvée, originating from the
great terroir of « Les Crayats », « Les Coutures » and
« Les Roses » classified Grand Cru in Mailly-Champagne
·
The evident tension moves towards a round and enveloping density, deliciously
peppery, an expression of the 60% Pinot Noir also from Mailly- Champagne
(places: « Les Chalois », « Les Clos », « Les
Godats », « Les Baraquines » and « Sous la ville »)
·
Balanced effervescence, wonderfully
distributed in the palate
· Remarkable length on the palate
With
this Cuvée L’Intemporelle 2006, Hervé Dantan, Chef de Cave of the Champagne House of Mailly Grand Cru signs
his name to Champagne with personality and impressive presence that delivers a beautiful
image of the generous 2006 vintage.
A great
aperitif, with foie gras canapés or caviar, or during a meal with French sautéed
scallops in Champagne sauce.
