Bruno Paillard - Champagne Premier Cru 'Dosage: Zero' NV

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 process stage. The viticulture is slow and sustainable, the Bruno Paillard house uses only the first pressing of Chardonnay, Pinot Meunier, and Pinot Noir. 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 disgorgement date on its bottles so that our clients can choose when to taste Bruno Paillard champagne.

Ageing is far longer than the legal requirement: three to four years in bottle “sur lies”, followed by six months rest after disgorgement. Dosage: Zero.

"Intense yeasty autolysis with crackers, sourdough and stones that lends itself well to the sliced apple characters. Bone-dry and austere on the palate with subtle, creamy perlage and concentrated flavors, and a rather mineral finish. 36 months aging on the lees. Disgorged in October 2021." - 93 Points, James Suckling
