TASTING NOTE ‘Tasted next to the grower’s vintage twin from Mailly at the nice new star restaurant Ergo in Stockholm. Both share the same deep reddish color, ultra-small fine bubbles, rich notes and healthy springy acidity. Where they go separate ways is where Ambonnay pulls on floral elegant finesse, Mailly pulls on with more power, fatter sunnier texture and higher density. Ambonnay will once again be my favorite with its unique style.’
