Bruno Paillard

72 Mois | Bottle 75cl

Description

The Cuvée 72 Mois from Bruno Paillard owes its name to the extended aging process it undergoes. After 36 months of aging on lees, this cuvée spends an additional three years maturing in the cellars of the house.

The Cuvée 72 Mois is an extension of the Première Cuvée, made from a solera of reserve wines blended with wines from the new harvest to bring freshness. As with the rest of the Bruno Paillard range, only the first pressings are kept. The Cuvée 72 Mois Bruno Paillard is the result of a blend of mainly Pinot Noir, complemented by Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier, from more than 30 crus. A small proportion (20%) of the wines are vinified in wood.

This cuvée is therefore aged for 36 months on lees, followed by an additional 36 months of maturation in the cellars after disgorging. Its dosage is Extra Brut, less than 6 grams per liter.

The Cuvée 72 Mois has a bright straw-gold color with yellow highlights. Its bubbles are fine and delicate, forming a pretty bead.

The first nose is slightly dominated by citrus fruits, then as it opens up, it reveals notes of white flowers, spices, and saffron.

On the palate, this cuvée has a lively and caressing attack. The aromatic notes discovered on the nose are joined by flavors of redcurrant jelly and black fruits. The creamy texture reveals slightly honeyed and dried fruit notes. The finish is immensely pure, long, and full.
