We genuinely never get sick of these wines. We know, it’s hard not to get excited about Champagne- but this one is extra special. Year on year, no matter the weather, we’re drinking Nicolas Maillart. The family have been growing vines in Montagne de Reims for nearly 300 years, now into their 9th generation with Nicolas at the helm. The grower Champagne revolution has meant families like the Maillarts could hone their centuries of experience, producing outstanding terroir driven styles. The family philosophy of biodiversity and minimal input vineyard practices continues today- seriously, you can’t be in the game this long without a sustainable outlook on viticulture.

In 1818, Madame Clicquot made the first-ever "rosé d'assemblage" champagne by mixing some of her red Bouzy wines with white ones. La Grande Dame Rosé honors her idea by using 90% Pinot Noir from the historical Grands Crus of Aÿ, Verzenay, Verzy, Ambonnay, and Bouzy, enriched by 10% Chardonnay from Avize and Le Mesnil-sur-Oger. This base is then blended with 13% Pinot Noir red wine exclusively from the 'Clos Colin' parcel, situated in Bouzy. Aged on lees for 10 years in bottle before being disgorged and topped with a dosage of 8g/L.
