Bruno Paillard was born in Reims in 1953 into an established family of Champagne "vignerons" and brokers. He started his own brokerage in 1975 and founded his own Champagne house in 1981. In fact, it is the youngest prestige house to be created since World War II. Bruno Paillard is synonymous with quality. The family has 125 acres of Grand Cru and Premier Cru vineyards. The Champagnes of Bruno Paillard are rich, complex and dry but above all, elegant. First pressing of mainly Pinot Noir with some Chardonnay, the amount of which remains a secret. A blend of 25 vintages, going back to 1985. Three years sur lie, then a minimum of a further five months after disgorgement. Extra brut, very low dosage, less than 6g/L. A very pure wine.
The fine bubbles are due to a strict selection of the best grapes, perfectly controlled temperature in the cellar and very long ageing. The initial aromas of redcurrant and red fruits evolve to morello cherry, wild strawberry and violet while breathing in the glass. A touch of lemon denotes the discrete presence of Chardonnay. With age, aromas tend towards dark fruits like dark cherry, fig and blackberry. Red fruit captured at their full freshness on the palate. The finish is bright and long. Fine, refreshing, direct, delicate, it is the quintessential aperitif champagne.
