Nicolas Maillart

Coming Soon

One of the connoisseurs' favourites

Nicolas Maillart is one of Champagne's most esteemed winemakers among Champagne connoisseurs. With just under 10 hectares of vines, he produces the very best quality, but not in large quantities and is therefore not to be found everywhere. In keeping with the region’s typicity, the vineyards contain a high proportion of Pinot Noir vines (75%) together with Chardonnay, the Pinot Noir providing power and substance to complement the finesse of the Chardonnay.

A unique path to excellence

Nicolas Maillart was born into a long-established winemaking family in Chamery near Reims, where the winery still exists today. However, due to its small size, he had to go and find his own way beyond his home vineyard. Accordingly, he studied viticulture in Bordeaux, agriculture in Montpellier and then worked for winegrowers in France and abroad. By the age of almost 30, Nicolas had gained enough experience to have an idea of the champagne he wanted to produce: mature, aromatic, fruity and multi-layered - excellent enough to gain a worldwide reputation.

Tradition that obliges

The family association with vine-growing can be traced back to 1753, when the ancestors grew vines in the neighbouring village of Chamery; although there is a document that suggests the tradition goes back even further, referring to a “measure of vines” in 1533 that was mapped out by Pierre Maillart, a sworn surveyor working in Chamery for Saint Nicaise abbey. Now the ninth generation continues the tradition and philosophy that is almost three hundred years old and develops the full potential of the Champagne terroirs in their wines at the highest level of quality.

Global recognition and praise

In the last years Nicolas Maillart's work was repeatedly praised and awarded prizes by international connoisseurs and magazines. Gerhard Eichelmann, one of the most prominent wine and champagne connoisseurs, wrote in his book “Champagne” (2021): „Nicolas Maillart champagnes are individual, full-bodied and intense, with good concentration and weight, and are complex yet juicy. The champagnes have gained precision and expressiveness in the last few years and are now even more complex, powerful and persistent, revealing mineral notes.“
