Nicolas Maillart Les Courzy Petit Meslier 2020

Beskrivelse

Spændstig og elegant champagne, hvor den naturligt høje syre fra Petit Meslier-druen skinner igennem, og som sammen med fadpræget og en absurd intensitet giver mindelser til stor hvid Bourgogne i den mineralske stil fra Puligny-Montrachet eller Corton-Charlemagne.

Anmeldelser

“Here we go again. The master of Petit Meslier has now vineyard-labeled the 2020 creation. No dosage, 100% barrel, selection Massalle of course. A couple of hundred bottles of world-class wine from an odd grape that here gives a style and class on par with Les Clos from Raveneau or Corton-Charlemagne from Louis Latour. The Champagne Club's elite group gathered in March 2025 and tasted a sensationally magnificent quintet of Nicolas Maillart's vineyard wines from 2020 and we found the exercise to be one of the most interesting and intellectually rewarding wine tasting exercises of the year. Personally, I had this odd bird as the winner despite the greatness of the reddish Pinot wines. The almost narcotically intense aroma of white truffle, popcorn, sesame, honeysuckle and freshly buttered corn is simply fantastic. The taste plays on the same theme with a slightly higher acidity than the other wines in the quintet and a supposedly longer life. Magnificent!” - 96 point, Richard Juhlin
