Mallol Gantois

Maison Mallol-Gantois is located in the charming village of Cramant, renowned for Champagne production. We are in the prestigious Côte des Blancs region, famous worldwide. Founded in 1981 by Bernard Mallol, the company spans 7 hectares of vineyards, primarily located in the villages of Cramant and Chouilly. These are Grand Cru Champagne vineyards, representing the highest quality.

Mallol Gantois

The wines of Mallol-Gantois are renowned for their incredible minerality and complexity. The vines absorb nutrients from the chalky soil of the Côte des Blancs, imparting a distinctive floral note and pronounced minerality to the wines. These characteristics, combined with the meticulous care taken in both the vineyard and winemaking processes, give Mallol-Gantois Champagnes a unique personality and unmistakable structure.

Champagne

The vineyards of Champagne, stretching 150 km east of Paris, challenge the extreme conditions of the northern climate. Situated at the 49th parallel north, the grapes are cultivated with the help of the ocean's influence, which moderates the temperatures, and the extraordinary skills of the vignerons.

Average temperatures, just above 10°C, promote the slow ripening of the grapes, preserving their natural acidity. Despite the humid climate and frequent spring frosts, the region produces ideal grapes for Champagne, thanks to soils rich in chalk and other mineral components. The vineyards, spread over diverse terrains, extend across hills and plains, capturing the essence of the Mistral wind and the few hours of available sunlight.

Côte des Blancs

This is one of the five wine-producing zones of the Champagne region, characterized by the presence of outcropping chalk soils that significantly influence wine production. Chardonnay is the principal grape variety in this area, yielding Champagne of exceptional elegance.

In this area, six villages boast the Grand Cru classification:

- Oiry
- Chouilly
- Cramant
- Avize
- Oger
- Mesnil-sur-Oger
Chalk soils that yield unique wines
