Les Maillerettes, Blanc de Noirs, Bouzy, Grand Cru, 2018

Their iconic single vineyard Pinot Noir from Bouzy hails from an historic family owned plot that was planted in 1970, and which today forms mother block for the domaine’s extensive Massale selection programme. Power and control here, with touches of ginger, raspberry, red currant in a sleek rich package. This has all the gravitas you’d expect from an old vine Bouzy Grand Cru Blanc de Noir. Disgorged with zero dosage after four years sur lie, it was vinified in oak barrels, bottled after 11 months of elevage.
