Champagne Nicolas Maillart

When Nicolas, ninth-generation Maillart, took the helm of the family Estate in 2003, he continued an almost 300-year-old family tradition of vine-growing in the Montagne de Reims. Founded in 1753, the current Estate is based in the Premier Cru village of Écueil, and Nicolas cultivates prized fruit from the well-established terroirs his ancestors selected, with vines exclusively in the Premier and Grand Cru villages of the Montagne de Reims.

In keeping with the region’s typicity, vineyard holdings comprise 75% Pinot noir with the balance attributed to Chardonnay, Meunier and Petit Meslier. The average age of vines is over 30 years, and two-thirds are planted by sélection massale (the traditional practice of vineyard propagation with exceptional old vines to promote genetic diversity). A rarity in Champagne—and indeed the world—Nicolas also vinifies Pinot noir from ungrafted vines originating from a single Écueil parcel that has sandy soil—excellent in prohibiting phylloxera’s parasitic attack—resulting in Les Coupés (previously known as Franc de pied), an incredibly unique and complex vintage champagne that shows great similarity to pre-phylloxera varieties.

The House is certified HVES (High Environmental Value and Sustainable), preferring to employ organic methods and biodynamic treatments with an emphasis on biodiversity. Since 2009, the family has further reduced their carbon footprint with the construction of 130 square metres of photovoltaic solar panels.

With great confidence and expertise, Nicolas continues to champion the House’s philosophy of expressing the full potential of Champagne terroir in their cuvées. Gentle and slow vinification, low dosage and the avoidance of malolactic fermentation ensures this, as well as a commitment to producing vintage champagnes only in the best years. Under Nicolas’s guidance, Pinot noir expresses power and structure, while Chardonnay exudes finesse and elegance, with all cuvées displaying the utmost balance, minerality and vinosity.

Grower-producer v's Grande Marque: What's the diff Grower-producer v's Grande Marque: What's the difference?

At Sally Hillman we consider there are two broad categories of champagne; one is produced on a large scale by the well-known Grandes Marques, the other category consists of the grower champagnes, also known as récoltant manipulant champagnes.

Grandes Marques (‘Great Brands’), largely drive Australia’s champagne market. As the most prominent Houses, the Grandes Marques have a long history of wine production in Champagne, achieving fame and fortune through the creation of non-vintage champagne blends that remain consistent in style each year. Their success lies in delivering a reliable experience for the consumer and in promoting aspirational ideals of luxury, celebrity and celebration that have been heavily marketed for the past two centuries.

Grower champagnes are produced by the growers themselves (also called grower-producers), who pride themselves on creating champagnes from vines that are exclusively their own. These Houses are family-owned and operated, and estate holdings are generally no more than a few hectares, passed down from generation to generation. Their aim is to craft wines from low yields and sustainable farming practices, vinified using natural, low-intervention winemaking processes that hone in on site-specific expressions of fruit, terroir and vintage.

Domaine Vincey 'Interlude' NV Lemon gold in colou Domaine Vincey 'Interlude' NV

Lemon gold in colour, Interlude NV pours forth with an intriguing fragrance of stone fruit, garden blossom, lanolin and dried honey. 

On the palate, the cuvée is immensely textural and rich, peeling back to reveal fleshy layers of papaya and ripe orange with waxy highlights—natural, like the coating of orchard apples, and delicate, like honeycomb, chewy with beeswax. 

There’s a distinctive, uplifting note of creamy lemon-lime on the mid to late palate, reminiscent of lemon myrtle, as a clear line of minerality builds into the orchestrally long finish. 

A most successful maiden voyage for Interlude NV. 

Interlude NV was manually disgorged in December 2021 and finished with zero dosage. 

Only 1238 bottles were produced.

🥂 Best enjoyed from the Lehmann F. Sommier, Dionysos 66 Ultralight machine-made glass.

🍽 🧀 Enjoy with creamy and savoury cheeses, such as an ashed goat’s cheese or a mild and meaty washed-rind cow’s milk cheese.

🍷Lehmann F. Sommier Ariane 72cl Perfect for li 🍷Lehmann F. Sommier Ariane 72cl

Perfect for light-bodied red wines with floral notes, such as Burgundy, Pinot noir, Gamay and Nebbiolo.

These wines are delicate with ethereal aromas, which means the glass must have a relatively fuller and wider bowl than both ‘Bordeaux’ and ‘standard’ red wine glasses. 

A wider bowl enhances aeration to develop the lighter aromas, allowing them to collect at the gently inward sloping rim. 

The body of the glass should also be relatively shorter than both the ‘Bordeaux’ and ‘standard’ red wine glasses to allow for the detection of more subtle, fragrant aromas due to the nose’s proximity to the wine.
