CRITIC REVIEWS
Bruno Paillard's NV Brut Première Cuvée is absolutely delicious. Subtle hints of yellow orchard fruit, pastry and dried flowers grace the palate. Understated and gracious, with fine bubbles and exceptional balance, the Première Cuvée is a classic Bruno Paillard Champagne that emphasizes finesse over all else. Disgorged March, 2015. Dosage is 6 grams per liter. 92 Points. Antonio Galloni
Bright, concentrated green-apple fruit with rich biscuit and salted almond complexity. Long and round on the palate, with smartly balanced acid and dosage. Finishes with a touch of honey. Proper classic styling – an old master. 16.5/20 Points. Jancisrobinson.com
FOOD PAIRING INSPIRATION
This wine is mostly enjoyed as an aperitif but will pair well with all the usual Champagne pairing suspects from fish and chips to smoked salmon.
VINTAGE AND WINEMAKING
The flagship Champagne from Bruno Paillard is a blend of 25 vintages where grapes from 30 different crus are used and only the first press wine is included. An extra dry (<6g/L sugar) blend of Pinot Noir (45%), Chardonnay (33%) and Pinot Meunier (22%), the wine spends three years sur lie and another five months after disgorgement.
PRODUCER NOTES
Born from a love of Champagne, maison Bruno Paillard was founded in 1981 by the man himself. A Champagne lover and broker, Bruno wanted to create the purest form of Champagne possible and his house focuses on an assemblage style blending different vintages, crus, grapes and clones, constantly searching for the perfect Champagne.
