"Maison Bruno Paillard is a young independent House (created in 1981 in Reims), born from the desire of its founder to create a wine very different from others, combining elegance with complexity.
  
 The vineyard covers approximately 25 hectares, 12 of which are Grands Crus. Today, this vineyard provides more than half of the House’s supplies.
  
 The Bruno Paillard style has strong commitments: sustainable and expressive viticulture, high quality standards, with only the first presses, and an aging period 2 to 4 times longer than the minimum required by the appellation. The House only produces extra brut in order to respect the original purity of the wines.
  
 The Première Cuvée Extra Brut, the best-known signature of Maison Bruno Paillard, is its very personal interpretation of what a great Champagne should be over time. It is a composition of more than 30 wines from the noblest terroirs of Champagne, like the palette of a painter, the list of which is one of the little secrets of the House.
  
 A long aging in the cellar takes place, from 2 to 4 years on the lees, followed by a rest of at least 5 months after disgorging. The dosage, Extra-Brut (i.e. containing less than 6 grams of sugar per liter), preserves the authentic purity of this Champagne.
  
 The first aromas reveal the citrus fruits of Chardonnay: almond, white peach, lime, grapefruit. Then the aromas of red fruits appear: redcurrant, raspberry, morello cherry, characteristics of Pinot Noir. By letting it open further in the glass, the slightly candied, even exotic fruit binder of Pinot Meunier is revealed (pineapple).
  
 As it evolves, aerates and heats, it reveals slightly plum and pear flavors. The palate is ample and chalky, quite long, leaving a very clean finish with some almost saline notes.
  
 Energetic, salivating wine."
