Champagne Bruno Paillard
BRUNO PAILLARD Champagne is an independent family-run house. Its exceptional vineyards are located in the heart of the Champagne region. The wines have a highly personal style characterized by stringent quality control at every stage of the process. Our viticulture is slow and sustainable the BRUNO PAILLARD house uses only the first pressing of Chardonnay Pinot Meunier and Pinot Noir and each cru is produced separately in oak barrels or stainless steel tanks. Not only this but reserve wines are blended to make an extra brut “dosage” and wines are aged two to four times longer than the minimum required by the appellation. The house was the first to indicate the date of disgorgement on its bottles so that our clients can choose when to taste BRUNO PAILLARD champagne. The Premiere Cuvée Rosé Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru N.P.U. “Nec Plus Ultra” and our collection of old vintages are available at independent wine merchants and are served at the world’s best restaurants.
Description
Bright straw gold colour, revealing the exclusive use of the first pressing and the large percentage of Chardonnay. Vivid “perlage” with very delicate bubbles. Fresh and fruity nose, initial aromas of citrus fruits: lime and grapefruit, then red fruits: redcurrant, raspberry, Morello cherry. Finally smooth aromas of candied, even exotic fruits. Vivacious on the attack thanks to a low dosage. A chalky minerality. Initial flavours of citrus fruit, almond, toast... but also redcurrant jelly, cherry, fig or blackberry. Complete without being heavy, with a long, clear finish.
Food Pairing
The Premiere Cuvee champagne is an excellent aperitif. It matches divinely with cheese (Brie de Meaux, Camembert, aged salers), poultry and shellfish.
