Cramant · Côte des Blancs
About
A small, artisan estate in Cramant, working exclusively with Grand Cru Chardonnay from the village's prized chalk slopes. Mallol produces a tight range of Blanc de Blancs that reflect Cramant's distinctive personality — broader and more generously textured than the austere precision of Le Mesnil, with a characteristic note of white flowers and ripe stone fruit underpinned by the deep chalk minerality common to all Côte des Blancs Grand Crus.
From the House
Our Cramant Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs Vintage 2018 is now available after five years on lees. Cramant's opulent chalk character is present throughout — white peach, acacia blossom, and a creamy persistent mousse that speaks of extended lees contact. Dosage 4g/L.
Cramant Blanc de Blancs and a whole baked Camembert with honey and walnuts is an indulgent but perfectly balanced pairing — the wine's acidity cuts through the richness of the cheese, while Cramant's characteristic white flower note echoes the honey beautifully.
Working exclusively with Cramant Grand Cru Chardonnay gives us a single-terroir perspective that larger houses rarely have. Each year's harvest reveals a different face of the same chalk — 2023 was leaner and more mineral than the rich 2018, but both are unmistakably Cramant.
