Bruno Paillard
Bruno Paillard is a dreamer, perfectionist and a romantic, but above all, makes excellent Champagne. In the early 80s he seized the opportunity to make Champagne in his own name. Selling his Jaguar, and using old family contacts, he bought grapes from only the best vineyards, setting himself against the established houses. He has succeeded with the Blanc de Blancs, 100% Chardonnay, is from only Grand Cru vineyards rated as the very best in the region.

Wine Advocate (94+)Disgorged in May 2022, the Paillard NV Extra-Brut Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru is superbly fresh, offering up aromas of orchard fruit, lemon, spring flowers and menthol touches. Medium to full-bodied, expressive and precise with a delicate mousse, it’s seamless, vinous, chalky and harmonious with a clean and precise finish. |

Vinous - Antonio Galloni (92)A model of understatement and finesse, the NV Brut Première Cuvée is classic Bruno Paillard. Almonds, jasmine, lemon peel and lime float on the palate in a Champagne that impresses for its weightless, totally gracious personality. Bright chalky, saline-infused notes support the crystalline finish. The Brut Première Cuvée is 45% Pinot Noir, 33% Chardonnay and 22% Pinot Meunier. I have seen the Paillard wines show best with a little more time on the cork, and am inclined to do the same thing here. |
