  Mandois Blanc de Noirs 2018 Brut French Champagne 75 cl 12%

  Item no.: 059763-615-443

  Champagne Mandois dates back to 1735, when winegrower and cooper Jean Mandois is first mentioned in the records. Nine generations later, the house still stands in Pierry, near Épernay - and this Blanc de Noirs is a tribute to that long history.

  Expert's Description

  Mandois Blanc de Noirs 2018 Brut is a Sparkling Wine from Champagne, France made from 100% Pinot Noir, bottled at 12% ABV.

  Victor-Auguste Mandois moved the house to Pierry in 1905, installing both a press and a cellar on the property - an unconventional move at the time. Today the ninth generation runs the house's 33 hectares, a large share of which is certified organic, making Mandois one of Champagne's largest organic growers. This 1er Cru Blanc de Noirs is made entirely from Pinot Noir from the 2018 harvest, vinified 80% in steel and 20% in oak, and rested more than four years on the lees before disgorgement. The dosage is low, just 6 grams of sugar per litre.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Ripe red berries with a touch of toasted bread from the long lees ageing.

  Palate

  Full and direct, with the Pinot Noir grape's characteristic power and a firm, mineral undertone.

  Finish

  Dry and long, the low dosage clear in the clean, non-sweet finish.

  Serving & Food Pairing

  Serve at 8-10°C in a champagne glass. The body makes it suitable for a whole meal - from shellfish to red meat - not just as an aperitif.

  Mandois Brut Origine French Champagne 75 cl 12%

  Item no.: 059763-615-444

  Where Blanc de Noirs is the house's purest statement, Brut Origine is Mandois' everyday cuvée - the one that shows what the house fundamentally stands for. Nine generations in Pierry have taught the family that the best argument is what's in the glass.

  Expert's Description

  Mandois Brut Origine is a Sparkling Wine from Champagne, France made from Meunier, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, bottled at 12% ABV.

  The Origine cuvée blends the house's three classic grape varieties and represents the core of Mandois' style - genuine, thorough craftsmanship without the big gestures. Champagne Mandois dates back to 1735 and has been based in Pierry since 1905, where the ninth generation now farms 33 hectares, a large share of it certified organic. Over the years, the house's Champagnes have earned a reputation as a preferred supplier to French Michelin-starred restaurants.

  Tasting Notes

  Mandois Brut Origine MAGNUM French Champagne 150 cl 12%

  Item no.: 059763-615-446

  The same Origine cuvée as the house's 75 cl bottle, but in magnum format - the size many sommeliers prefer, since the Champagne matures more calmly and evenly behind the larger glass wall.

  Expert's Description

  Mandois Brut Origine Magnum is a Sparkling Wine from Champagne, France made from Meunier, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, bottled at 12% ABV.

  Origine is Mandois' classic cuvée, blending the house's three grape varieties, and represents the core of the style from a Champagne house with roots back to 1735, run today by the ninth generation in Pierry. In magnum, the Champagne has more room to develop slowly, often giving an even more integrated result - and the format is a natural choice when several guests are sharing a bottle.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Fresh fruit with a touch of pastry.

  Palate

  Well balanced, with an interplay between Meunier's fruit, Chardonnay's finesse and Pinot Noir's power.

  Did You Know?

  Magnum bottles generally have a better reputation among collectors, because the smaller ratio of air to wine under the cork gives a slower, more even maturation.

  Mandois Demi Sec French Champagne 75 cl 12%

  Item no.: 059763-615-447

  Not all Champagne has to be bone dry. Mandois Demi Sec is the house's answer for those who prefer more sweetness in the glass - still built on the same 1735 roots as the rest of the range.

  Expert's Description

  Mandois Demi Sec is a Sparkling Wine from Champagne, France made from the house's classic grape varieties, bottled at 12% ABV.

  Demi Sec means half-dry and carries a dosage of around 35 grams of sugar per litre, giving it a noticeably sweeter style than the house's Brut cuvées. Champagne Mandois dates back to 1735 and is run today by the ninth generation in Pierry - the tradition of genuine craftsmanship stays the same, whether the Champagne ends up dry or sweet.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Ripe, golden fruit with a touch of honey.

  Palate

  Rich and round, with clear sweetness balanced by the Champagne's natural acidity.

  Finish

  Softly rounded and lingering.

  Serving & Food Pairing

  Serve at 8-10°C in a champagne glass. Demi Sec pairs beautifully with desserts, fruit tarts or foie gras - or enjoy it on its own as a sweeter way to end the evening.

  Mandois Zero Dosage Brut French Champagne 75 cl 12%

  Item no.: 059763-615-450

  No dosage, nowhere to hide. Mandois Zero Dosage is Champagne in its purest form - just the grape, the cellar and time.

  Expert's Description

  Mandois Zero Dosage Brut is a Sparkling Wine from Champagne, France made from the house's classic grape varieties, bottled at 12% ABV.

  Zero Dosage - also called Brut Nature or Brut Zéro - means no sugar is added after the second fermentation. That places real demands on the grapes' own ripeness and balance, since there's no sweetness to mask any rough edges. For Mandois, with roots back to 1735 and the ninth generation at the helm in Pierry, it's an exercise in letting the terroir and the craftsmanship speak for themselves, completely unfiltered.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Clean and direct, with a clear imprint of the grape itself rather than sweetness.

  Palate

  Sharp and mineral, with acidity standing fully upfront with nothing to soften it.

  Finish

  Dry and long, with a clean, almost taut close.

  Serving & Food Pairing

  Serve at 8-10°C in a champagne glass. The sharp, dry style makes it a natural match for oysters, raw fish and other shellfish with a clean, salty character.

  Did You Know?

  Zero Dosage Champagnes have earned their own following among sommeliers precisely because they can't hide behind sweetness - the grape and terroir have to stand on their own.
