Bruno Paillard Blanc de Noirs Grand Cru NV
This wine is entirely composed of first pressing Pinot Noir from 4 Grands Crus: Verzenay, Mailly, Verzy and Bouzy. The first three of them have a predominantly northern orientation; these historic, chalky terroirs bring together the elegance and distinctive depth of Pinot Noir.
It is mostly vinified in stainless steel, with a small proportion of oak from aged barrels (15 to 20%, depending on the year) to enrich the blend. It then spends three years on the lees. After disgorgement, the date of which is mentioned on the back label, the Blanc de Noirs Grand Cru rests for a minimum of six months in the cellar. Like all the Maison Bruno Paillard Champagnes, it is an Extra-Brut, with a dosage of 3g/l.
The nose is lively and velvety, with red rose petals, Bigarreau cherries combined with pink grapefruit and Timut pepper. With time, a bouquet of sweet spices and a sensation of great freshness progressively appear. The chiselled and chalk structure found on the nose is echoed on the palate. A striking and mouth-watering attack, where the salinity and delicacy of the fruit intertwine in an umami sensation, which calls for food. The depth of this wine is gradually revealed around notes of cherry flesh and a slice of kumquat.

More about this product
Bruno Paillard
Bruno Paillard comes from a family of merchants and wine producers since 1704. In 1975, only 27 years old, but with more experience in the Champagne trade, he founded his own company, without vineyards and wineries and without funding. He sells his car and starts producing Champagne in a winery for rent, carefully choosing grapes from independent producers. In 1994 he managed to buy his first vineyard - 3 hectares with Grand Cru classification in Oger, Côte des Blancs. From that moment until today, Bruno Paillard, with a lot of patience and perseverance, managed to reach 32 hectares, including 12 ranked Grand Cru. From the care of the vines to the precise production, Bruno Paillard is dedicated to making only the best Champagne - elegant, soft, with impressive purity and freshness. He manages to break into a business in which there has been no new player for a hundred years. Winique history and wine!

Champagne
The Champagne region is located to the northernmost of all the vineyards of France. The distinctive taste and purity of real champagne is certainly due to the calcareous soil and continental growing conditions. Unlike most other wines, it is characteristic of those from Champagne that the vintages of different years are blended to obtain a final product (non-vintage) or different wines from the same vintage are blended - in this case the wine is marked as vintage and its year is indicated on the label. This means, after all, that the quality of the champagne obtained depends very much on the balance between the quality of the grapes and the skills of the oenologists, which is why they are also promoted according to the name of the producer. Thus, in Champagne and around the world, the most famous names are Krug, Mumm, Bollinger, Veuve Clicquot, not to mention the well-known brands Dom Perignon, Moët & Chandon and Taittinger. The grape varieties in this region are Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, which are present in different proportions in Champagne wines. The so-called Blanc de Blanc, made only from Chardonnay grapes, and Blanc de Noir, which is white champagne but made from red Pinot Noir grapes, are also often produced. A curious and little known fact is that in Champagne sparkling rose is made with a mixture of white and red wine, and not as is the standard for the production of rose wine.

Pinot Noir
Pinot Noir is the dominant red wine grape of Burgundy, a challenge for every single vine grower and wine producer. It can be found in Germany (as Spätburgunder), Italy (Pino Nero), Chile, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand and the USA. The wines show a specific aroma of red berries and cherry depending on the vinification method employed - from fresh red cherries in lighter wines to stewed black cherries in weightier examples, many of them also showing hints of earthy flavours.
