Perlage

Perlage

The fine bubbles are due to a strict selection of the best grapes, perfectly controlled temperature in the cellar and very long ageing.

Perfume

Perfume

The primary aromas reveal the citrus fruits of chardonnay: lime and grapefruit. Then the red fruits aromas of pinot noir appear: redcurrant, raspberry, morello cherries. When left to open up in the glass, the wine shows hints of dried fruits, sometimes exotic, from pinot meunier.

Color

Color

The golden straw colour reveals a high presence of chardonnay and the exclusive use of the first pressings.

Taste

Taste

Lively and vivacious, thanks to a low dosage, the aromas on the nose are echoed in the mouth. Primary flavours of citrus, almonds, and toasted bread, very soon followed by redcurrant jelly but also dark fruits like cherry, fig and blackberry.

06 - 08 °C.

The Maison 'Bruno Paillard' was established from the desire of its founder to create a Champagne that was very different from others, very pure.

According to Bruno Paillard, a great Champagne is first and foremost a blend of wines: first and foremost of crus, of grapes, but also vintages always with this desire to capture the quintessence of finesse and elegance that Champagne can offer when it is served lovingly. Read more

Whilst the wine opens up in the glass and gets warmer, it expresses light plum and pear flavours. The palate is full, quite long with a very clean finish. The Première Cuvée Champagne is an excellent aperitif. It matches divinely with cheese (Brie de Meaux, Camembert, aged salers), poultry and shellfish.

Wine making Exclusively made from the first pressings, Bruno Paillard Première Cuvée is kept 3 years on lees before being aged another 6 months post disgorgement. The very low, Extra-Brut dosage is kept below 6 g/l to preserve the purity of the wine. This deliberately long ageing is thus key to enable the wine to fully express its richness without any austerity.
Aging Ageing is longer than the legal requirement; 3 years sur lie, then a minimum of a further 5 months after disgorgement.
