“Aromas of peaches, wild strawberries, Griotte cherries and spices. Medium to full-bodied, bright and tensile, it’s concentrated and incisive. It concludes with a bright, long and penetrating finish.” - 93 Points, Yohan Castaing, Robert Parker Wine Advocate Multi-vintage rosé, made with Pinot Noir, is created in two ways: White wine from Pinot Noir: after a quick pressing, and a fast separation of the skins, the juice is very pale and can be vinified as a white wine. Red wine from Pinot Noir: is obtained by a prolonged maceration of the juice on the skins. A touch of Chardonnay brings the necessary vivacity to balance the fruits of Pinot Noir. The two are blended with a secret touch of Chardonnay and a mix of 25 reserve vintages going back to 1985! The wine spends 3 years on lees and an extra 5 months after disgorgement. The dosage is a low & dry 6g/L. ABOUT BRUNO PAILLARD Bruno Paillard was born in 1953 into an old Champagne family of growers and brokers. He founded his eponymous Champagne house in 1981 and quickly gained international recognition, although it is relatively small in size. Considered to be a négociant, he owns 32 hectares of vines in 15 villages, including Oger, Le Mesnil, Verzenay and Bouzy. Although Paillard is not certified organic, the house follows many organic principles, with some parcels using biodynamics. The wines are aged on the lees for a long time, and barrels are used sparingly (in about 20% of the production). Only the juice from the first pressing is used, and most wines complete their malolactic fermentation. Bruno Paillard’s style is elegant, fresh and delicate, with a pinpoint mousse and low dosage. Today, Alice Paillard, his daughter, runs the business.
