Aromatic profile

The structure of this champagne

Four dimensions to capture its balance
Freshness
Citrus-driven vivacity and acid tension characteristic of Chardonnay from the Côte des Blancs.
Roundness
The contribution of 25 vintages of reserve wines adds depth and a well-measured softness.
Power
A slender Extra Brut built more on precision than force, yet with a compelling presence on the palate.
Length
A persistent finish of chalk and citrus zest — the hallmark of the great crus of Le Mesnil.

TASTING NOTES

A luminous pale robe with green and golden highlights, showing a fine, silky effervescence born of a bottle fermentation gentler than that of conventional Champagne. On the nose, chalky minerality, white blossom and candied citrus intertwine, deepened by the complexity of reserve wines dating back to 1985. The palate is precise, taut and saline, with a long finish of vibrant chalk and confit lemon.

Terroirs

Sourced exclusively from Grand Cru vineyards on the Côte des Blancs — Oger and Le Mesnil-sur-Oger — grown on deep chalk soils that lend the Chardonnay its signature minerality. Reserve wines kept since 1985 account for up to 50% of the final blend, spanning 25 different vintages and bringing both complexity and stylistic continuity.

Bruno Paillard

About this house

Founded in 1981 by Bruno Paillard himself — a passionate wine broker turned récoltant-manipulant — the eponymous house was the first Champagne maison established in Reims in the twentieth century. Independent and family-owned, it is today led by Alice Paillard, the founder's daughter, who carries forward his uncompromising standards.

The philosophy rests on three pillars: single-vineyard expression, transparency — the disgorgement date has appeared on every bottle since 1981 — and consistently minimal dosage, allowing the terroir to speak without embellishment. The house offers a focused range in which each cuvée stands as a stylistic statement.

Sa bulle fine et sa fraîcheur crayeuse en font le compagnon idéal des gougères dorées au four.

La minéralité iodée du carpaccio de bar répond avec précision à la tension crayeuse de ce blanc de blancs.

La sole meunière, beurrée et délicate, s'harmonise avec élégance à la vivacité citronnée et la longueur crayeuse du champagne.
