Remaining loyal to the traditions of the champagne region, the maillart estate is only planted with pinot noir 75% and chardonnay 25% . The bulk of the vines is planted mid-slope, in bouzy terroir, which is favorable for cultivating and harvesting in the cool climates. The grapes undergo 52 hours of maceration to impart the beautiful color. The bottles are rested on the lees for at least one year and disgorged right before release.
