"Maison Bruno Paillard is a young independent House (created in 1981 in Reims), born from the desire of its founder to create a wine very different from others, combining elegance with complexity.
  
 The vineyard covers approximately 25 hectares, 12 of which are Grands Crus. Today, this vineyard provides more than half of the House’s supplies.
  
 The Bruno Paillard style has strong commitments: sustainable and expressive viticulture, high quality standards, with only the first presses, and an aging period 2 to 4 times longer than the minimum required by the appellation. The House only produces extra brut in order to respect the original purity of the wines.
  
 Made exclusively from the Chardonnay grape variety, this wine is the “lace” of Champagne. This is how it was once nicknamed because of its fine and persistent white foam.
  
 A very old vinification method called “Demi-Mousse”: fermentation in the bottle is less powerful than for a classic champagne, in order to obtain less effervescence.
  
 A long aging in the cellar takes place, 4 years on lees followed by a rest of at least 10 months after disgorging. The dosage is Extra-Brut, at 4.5g/L.
  
 The first aromas are clearly citrus – lime, grapefruit – enhanced with white flowers. Allowed to breathe, hints of almond and bread crust emerge.
  
 The attack is lively, and produces complex sensations of freshness combining citrus fruits with white-fleshed fruits, evolving with aeration. The chalk is even more sensitive here than in the other vintages. Almost saline-iodine notes.
  
 Fresh and long, persistent finish. Very salivating wine."
