"Maison Bruno Paillard is a young, independent winery (founded in 1981 in Reims), born from its founder's desire to create a wine that is very different from others, combining elegance and complexity.
  
The vineyard covers approximately 25 hectares, 12 of which are Grands Crus. This vineyard now provides more than half of the House's wines.
  
The Bruno Paillard style is based on strong commitments: sustainable and expressive viticulture, high quality standards, using only the first pressings, and an aging period 2 to 4 times longer than the minimum required by the appellation. The House produces only extra brut wines to respect the original purity of the wines.
  
A Champagne made without any dosage can produce a daunting result. After an initial attempt in the early 1990s, Bruno Paillard decided 20 years later to create a new "DZ" cuvée from scratch. A risk he took, and this time he succeeded thanks to more substantial resources.
  
A rare thing in Champagne, "reserve wines" make up more than half of the blend.
  
Bottle aging for 3 to 4 years on lees, followed by a minimum of 6 months after disgorgement. Dosage: zero.
  
Nose: Initial notes of white fruits and fresh almonds, both generous and not overly opulent. Upon aeration, aromas of chocolate and toasted notes appear, blended with fresh raspberry, star anise, and candied chestnuts.
  
A lively and indulgent attack, opening generously on the palate. The aromatic richness promised by the nose is rediscovered on the palate, in a lively and chiseled texture.
  
A straight finish, with saline notes, is extremely persistent."
