Nicolas Maillart — Mont Martin Rosé 2020

Mont Martin Rosé 2020

Nicolas Maillart | Rosé | Vintage 2020

The Mont Martin Rosé 2020 from Nicolas Maillart – a Premier Cru from Villers Allerand with delicate color, clear structure and intense freshness.

Looking at the back label, something stands out: 100% Meunier, Blanc de Noirs, Macération à froid – this doesn't sound like rosé at all. Or does it?

The front clearly says "Rosé," while the back label suggests more of a "Blanc de Noirs with skin contact." Whether this is an intentionally styled boundary-pushing form – a delicately colored Meunier rosé with Blanc-de-Noirs appeal – remains unclear.

That's exactly what makes it exciting: a champagne that raises questions. Style categories blur, and not everything can be classified at first glance.

Tasting Notes

A powerful, almost tart rosé with great texture, ripe fruit and lots of character. Clear structure and intense freshness define this wine with attitude.
