This family-owned house farms either organically or biodynamically. This blend is of 35 crus comprising 45% Pinot Noir from the Monagne de Reims and Les Riceys; 33% Chardonnay from the Cote des Blancs; and 22% Pinot Meunier from the first 20 km of the Marne Valley. It is a very personal interpretation of the whole region. A top quality wine that is the flagship of the Bruo Pailard style. A blend of 25 vintages, since 1985; up to 50% of the final blend. Ageing is longer than the legal requirement; three years sur lie, then a minimum of a further five months after disgorgement. Extra brut, very low dosage, less than 6g/L. This creates a very pure, very authentic champagne.
Rounded and layered with almond croissant, floral perfume and orange oil. It has a fine pillowy mousse and is ripe and inviting, while remaining buoyant and refreshing. Its silky texture and long finish make for a luxurious style. Very poised and balanced. It is drinking well now and will drink well over the next ten years.
