NV Nicolas Maillart Champagne Premier Cru Brut Platine, France, Wine Review

This is a nice value in 1er Cru Champagne.  It drinks very well right now.  Light golden in color with a nice head of small bubbles.  The nose is nice with a green apple note along with some faint toast qualities.  In general, this is more on the austere side of Champagne which is not a bad thing.  Plenty of acidity.  Long finish.  This was served to friends at the start of the evening along side some roasted chick peas and that proved a fine pairing a great start to the evening.  I don't think this will improve and these bottles, purchased in the last year, should be drunk in the next year or so.  Lots of info on the back label which is great.  78% Pinot Noir, 16% Chardonnay and 6% Meunier.  Dosage 6 g/l/  Disgorged in 01/2018.
