Aromatic profile

The structure of this champagne

Four dimensions to capture its balance
Freshness
The Extra Brut dosage of 4.5 g/L and the late 2013 vintage deliver crystalline acidity — the hallmark of Grand Cru Chardonnay from the Côte des Blancs.
Roundness
25% barrel fermentation in old oak casks lends a velvety texture that tempers the natural vivacity of the Chardonnay.
Depth
Seven years on lees impart a profound toasty, mineral complexity without weighing down the cuvée.
Length
The chalky, floral finish lingers with remarkable persistence — the signature of the Grand Crus of Le Mesnil and Oger.

TASTING NOTES

A golden robe with pearlescent highlights and a fine, elegantly persistent bead. The nose is delicate and pure, with notes of verbena, spring blossom, candied lemon and the characteristic chalky-mineral quality of Le Mesnil-sur-Oger. On the palate, the attack is precise and crystalline, the mid-palate taut yet generous, with a perfect balance between keen acidity and ripe substance; the finish is saline, long and distinguished.

Terroirs

100% Grand Cru Chardonnay from the heart of the Côte des Blancs — Le Mesnil-sur-Oger and Oger — harvested at perfect ripeness during this late, cool vintage, celebrated for its 'crystalline freshness'. A quarter of the blend is vinified in old oak casks, adding a layer of oxidative complexity without obscuring the chalky purity of the terroir.

Bruno Paillard

About this house

Founded in 1981, Maison Bruno Paillard is one of the last great independent family houses in Champagne, and the most recent to have been created ex nihilo by a descendant of the region. Bruno Paillard, trained as a négociant, built his reputation on a philosophy of absolute transparency: every bottle bears the disgorgement date, a rarity in the trade.

The house style reflects the founder's taste for taut, precise, Extra Brut wines that refuse the dosage used to mask imperfections. Today, his daughter Alice Paillard upholds this uncompromising vision, and the house's collaborative labels — here the work 'Liberté' by Anne Commet — speak to its singular artistic identity.

Sa finesse pétillante et sa minéralité crayeuse subliment les gougères dorées au comté, accord classique et sans fausse note.

L'acidité tranchante et les notes d'agrumes du Blanc de Blancs entrent en résonance parfaite avec le gravlax citronné et ses herbes fraîches.

Main Course

Main Course

La texture crémeuse du risotto aux asperges et la minéralité végétale s'accordent avec la droiture calcaire et la longueur persistante du Mesnil.
