A Grand Cru from Bouzy, powerful and tense, at the peak of Maillart’s style.

Les Jolivettes 2020 stands as the emblematic cuvée of Nicolas Maillart, the one that brought the estate to international recognition.
From a single 0.6-hectare parcel at the heart of Bouzy Grand Cru, this 100 % Pinot Noir reflects the full strength of this clay-limestone terroir of the Campanian era, where the grape achieves perfect ripeness without losing its natural tension.

The thirty-year-old vines are cultivated with meticulous care: ploughed soils, close observation of natural cycles, and a mix of organic and biodynamic practices adapted to each vintage.
The full oak-barrel vinification, absence of malolactic fermentation and brut nature dosage preserve the wine’s purity and energy while adding complexity through eight months of lees ageing.

The result is a Grand Cru Blanc de Noirs of remarkable density, both vinous and vibrant. Aromas of ripe fruits, spices and roasted hazelnut express the controlled power of Bouzy, the beating heart of the Montagne de Reims.
