Bruno Paillard

Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru | Bottle 75cl

Description

The Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru by Bruno Paillard is one of the house's most iconic cuvées. It is a champagne of remarkable elegance, absolutely perfect as an aperitif.

Made exclusively from Chardonnay grapes grown in the Grand Cru vineyards of the Côte des Blancs, Bruno Paillard's Blanc de Blancs benefits from a special vinification process. This technique involves adding less sugar and yeast than in a traditional champagne during the tirage, or second fermentation (which occurs in the bottle and produces the effervescence). This results in slightly less effervescence (around 4.5 kg of pressure instead of the usual 5 to 6). The result is a champagne of immense finesse and a silky mouthfeel.

After disgorging, the Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Bruno Paillard is aged for 10 months in the cellar before being released for tasting.

This champagne has a pale gold color with silver highlights. Its bubbles are astonishingly fine.

On the nose, it is lively and floral, evoking citrus fruits (lime, grapefruit) and white flowers. On the second nose, a touch of almond and toast appears.

On the palate, the attack is lively, revealing a rich palette of aromas ranging from citrus to white fruits. Minerality is present throughout the tasting, which ends with a fresh and long finish.
