Mandois

Jean Mandois was born in Epernay in 1760 and he was the first wine-maker in the family: in 1905 Auguste Mandois moved to Pierry, a village with Premier Cru classification, and started producing his own champagne. The maison is now in the hands of Claude Mandois, who runs the 40 hectares of property, of which 13 Premier Cru and with mostly Chardonnay grapes. The maison produces around 500,000 bottles and over the last years, following the spirit of its patron, it has been aiming at quality, both with grape selection, but above all with permanence on yeast for at least 30 months for the brut sans-année. Each cuvée, processed according to the "champenoise" tradition reflects its own style that fits well with the champagne "de garde". A pear of wisdom is represented by the Brut Zero, a champagne "pas dosé" for true lovers of the "pas dosé" bubbles where the assemblage of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay is very balanced. A Maison that, while respecting the tradition, is always in in line with the times with fine wines and little dosed, true expression of Champagne terroir.
