Mailly Grand Cru 2000 Les Echansons Brut Sparkling (Champagne)
- Cellar Selection
- $115
A beautifully crafted Champagne from grand cru vineyards, with pure acidity that weaves its way through the tense fruit flavors. There is just a hint of toast and yeast as the wine starts towards maturity. Like many wines from Mailly, this tastes dry.

Mailly Grand Cru 1999 Les Echansons Brut Sparkling (Champagne)
- Cellar Selection
- $90
A Pinot Noir-dominated Champagne from 70-year-old vines, this is gorgeous, rich and concentrated. It has certainly benefitted from its aging before release. With a small production of 11,000 bottles, this is both serious and impressive.

Mailly Grand Cru 1996 Les Echansons Sparkling (Champagne)
- $89
A tour de force from this cooperative, whose vines are concentrated in the grand cru vineyards of Mailly. This is a big, bold wine, dominated by Pinot Noir, but with layers of creamy Chardonnay showing through. This is still young, and will certainly age.

Mailly Grand Cru 1999 Blanche Grand Cru Chardonnay (Champagne)
- $100
A beautifully aged Blanc de Blancs, all toast and almonds in a mineral texture with crisp apple fruit. It is concentrated, deliciously ripe and now soft, ready to drink and likely to continue to age further over several years.

Mailly Grand Cru 2005 L’Air Brut Sparkling (Champagne)
- Cellar Selection
- $78
The top cuvée from this fine cooperative is rich, dominated by Pinot Noir to give a full-bodied feel. Fruit flavors of ripe apple and pink grapefruit give sophistication, along with toast and yeast. Worth aging for 4–5 years, but delicious now.

Mailly Grand Cru 2006 L’Intemporelle Brut Sparkling (Champagne)
- $87
A young, delicious, fresh wine, with soft apple and pear flavors, rounded and ripe. The fruit is right up front, with an apple-skin texture and brilliant acidity. It could age for a few years, but is ready to drink now.

Mailly Grand Cru 2005 L’Intemporelle Brut Sparkling (Champagne)
- $80
Literally timeless, L’Intemporelle is an elegant, almost discreet style. It downplays the rich fruit to present a stylish wine, with citrus highlights over ripe yellow fruit. This 2005 is still young; age for 3–4 years.

Mailly Grand Cru NV Brut Rosé Sparkling (Champagne)
- $56
A glass filled with a pink sunset, fresh and flavored with raspberry fruits, very textured, heading towards dry. It is fruity, with lively acidity, bright and alert.
