| Product name | Champagne Premiere Cuvee Extra Brut Magnum |
| Color | The golden straw colour reveals a high presence of chardonnay and the exclusive use of the first pressings. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| Pairings | As 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. |

Description
Extra Brut Champagne, produced by Bruno Paillard in the Champagne region of France. A 1.50L Magnum. The initial aromas reveal the citrus fruits of Chardonnay: lime, grapefruit. Then come the aromas of red fruits: currant, raspberry, black cherry, characteristic of Pinot Noir. Allowing it to open further in the glass reveals a connection with slightly candied fruits, such as the exotic ones of Pinot Meunier (pineapple). The attack is lively thanks to a low dosage that respects the wine's authenticity. The nose confirms itself with the initial flavors of citrus, almond, toasted bread... but also of black cherry jelly, followed by black fruits such as cherry, fig, and blackberry. As it evolves, its aeration and warming reveal light flavors of plum and pear. The palate is broad without being heavy, quite long, leaving a very clean finish.

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

| 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. |
