Nicolas Maillart Platine Brut NV

Pinot noir-dominant and purposeful. Ripe pear and white peach open alongside dried flowers, with an oyster-shell undercurrent that gives the wine its sense of place. Bright lemon zest cuts through the fruit on the palate, tightening the structure and driving a long, chalky finish with a faint spice thread at the close. Focused and well-built.
