Description

Fine.

Perfume

Perfume

Nose of very ripe wild strawberries in the opening, followed by a wide range of aromas, from acacia honey and candied pineapple to fresh notes of kumquat and jasmine. As the wine opens up, the sweetness of lime blossom and the spicy intensity of cedar wood appear. More patient tasters will see the nose evolve towards notes of blackberry and blackcurrant.

Color

Color

Deep, bright straw yellow.

Taste

Taste

The opening is solid and velvety, combining intense flavour and creamy texture. Generous flavours of candied apricots and slightly toasted gingerbread stand out. After this initial explosion, the wine's saline base is revealed in the middle palate. The finish is balsamic and minty, true to the N.P.U. - Nec Plus Ultra - signature.

Serve at:

06 - 08 °C.

  • Hectares: 32
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
