The history of this company began in 1735 with the purchase of some vineyards, but the foundation took place in 1862. Initially based in Epernay, in 1905, Champagne Mandois moved to Pierry. Today, the company owns just under 40 hectares of vineyards spread across 12 different villages in the Côte des Blancs, Côte d'Epernay, Coteaux de Sézanne and Côte des Bars, planted mainly with Chardonnay grapes. The Brut Origine is a classic blend of a majority of Chardonnay with equal parts of the red grapes Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, and a small addition of base wines. The wine remains in the cellar for 3 years before being released on the market. This elegant Champagne has a golden color enhanced by a fine and persistent perlage. On the nose, it reveals a rich and broad aromatic profile with notes of ripe fruit and fresh hints of lime, followed by toasted nuances. On the palate, it is lively, balanced and round. It has a velvety texture and a fine mousse. The long, and elegant finish recalls toasted and honeyed notes. It makes an excellent aperitif for a special occasion, but it also pairs well with shellfish appetizers and white meat.
