Nicolas Maillart Montchenot Premier Cru Extra Brut 2019 is a vintage grower Champagne from the renowned producer Champagne Nicolas Maillart, a ninth-generation family estate in the Montagne de Reims subregion.

This single-vineyard (parcellaire) cuvée comes from plots in the Premier Cru hamlet of Montchenot (part of Villers-Allerand), a unique site at the junction of the Petite and Grande Montagne de Reims, with chalky soils that impart distinctive minerality.

Key Details

  • Grape composition — Primarily 100% Pinot Noir (Blanc de Noirs), though some sources note blends around 85% Pinot Noir and 15% Pinot Meunier; most descriptions emphasize pure Pinot Noir for this lieu-dit expression.
  • Style — Extra Brut (very low dosage, often 1-4 g/L), vinified in wooden barrels, with extended lees aging (around 36 months).
  • Winemaking — Nicolas Maillart focuses on terroir expression, minimal intervention, and sustainable practices (HVE certified, approaching organic).

Character

It's praised for its precision, freshness, minerality, and focus — a dry, chalk-driven Champagne with elegance and class. Expect notes of crisp citrus, orchard fruit, and a tangy, incisive palate with fine mousse. It's part of Maillart's range of site-specific Blanc de Noirs, highlighting the chalky terroir's structure and purity.

This 2019 vintage reflects excellent growing conditions in Champagne, producing balanced, age-worthy wines.
