Mont Martin Rosé 2020

Nicolas Maillart | Rosé | Vintage 2020

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

Looking at the back label, something catches the eye: 100% Meunier, Blanc de Noirs, Macération à froid, that doesn't sound like a Rosé at all. Or does it?

The front label clearly says "Rosé," while the back label leans more toward "Blanc de Noirs with skin contact." Whether this is a deliberately styled hybrid, a delicately colored Meunier Rosé with a Blanc de Noirs character, remains an open question.

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

Tasting Notes

A powerful, almost austere Rosé with great texture, ripe fruit, and plenty of character. Clear structure and intense freshness define this wine with real presence.
