Winemaker Notes

This wine is made with 50% Macabeo, 30% Xarel-lo and 20% Parellada. The grapes are handpicked and carefully harvested from mid-August until the end of September. The vines are between 20 and 30 years. They undergo a cold soak for several hours in order to maximize the primary aromas. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at a very low temperature between 12 -14 ºC for several days. The coupage wine obtained undergoes 2nd fermentation in the bottle according to the traditional “Méthode Champenoise”.

This wine is golden with green undertones. On the nose there are notes of apple, wildflowers and almonds. On the palate, the wine is fresh, flavorful and creamy with citrus fruit, toast and dried fruits.

92+ Points, Wine Advocate

Based on the 2015 vintage, the latest release of Paillard's NV Extra-Brut Première Cuvée was disgorged in August 2019. Opening in the glass with delicate aromas of pear, crisp orchard fruit, brioche, white flowers, citrus zest and nutmeg, it's still youthfully tightly wound, with a medium to full-bodied, racy and incisive profile that's impeccably balanced. Elegant and precise to my palate, this is more about potential today, as real complexity is waiting in the wings. The only thing required is a bit of patience.

Winemaker Notes

A straw gold color and very fine bubbles. Its delicate hue comes from to the use of a high percentage of Chardonnay and of the first pressing only. The first aromas reveal the citrus character of the Chardonnay, such as lime and grapefruits. Red fruit aromas then come out, including redcurrant, raspberry, morello cherry - typical Pinot Noir. On leaving the wine to open up, candied fruits, even exotic fruits of Pinot Meunier appear with aromas of banana and pineapple. The palate is lively. The nose is confirmed by the first taste, including citrus, almonds, toasted bread and "brioche"... but also redcurrant jelly, and dark fruits like cherry, fig or blackberry. The palate is full, quite long, with a very clean finish. Elegant, but not without complexity, this wine perfectly illustrates what is "the house style." Blend: 45% Pinot Noir, 33% Chardonnay, 22% Pinot Meunie.

Winemaker Notes

This wine is made up of the following: 40% Chardonnay sourced from the best Crus in the region, 30% Pinot Noir from the Montage de Reims and the Grande Vallée de la Marne and 30% Pinot Meunier from the Vallée de la Marne and the southern slopes of Epernay. This cuvee uses 40% reserve wines, is vinified in stainless steel, undergoes malolactic fermentation and ages on its lees for 36 months. 

With its subtle and gourmet aromas, this cuvée is a reference point amongst rosé champagnes. It will be a pleasant companion to your happiest moments with its sparkling colour, its amazing finesse and its great intensity.

94 Points, James Suckling

A gorgeous rosé Champagne with sliced strawberries, orange peel and hints of cream and pie crust. Medium body, tight and integrated tannins and a long and flavorful finish. Tangy acidity. The texture shows a fine bead and lightness. Long and intense. Drink now.

Notes of ripe yellow apple play enticingly on the nose. They expand to full force on the palate and fill the mouth with their mellow goodness, supported in this by rich notes of shortbread and wonderful lemon freshness. The bubbles are creamy and disperse the lovely flavors to great effect. This is classy and delicious.

Winemaker Notes

A hymn to the bright delicacy of Pinot Noir, the Premiere Cuvee Rosé is named on account of its composition of only the first pressing. The pink copper color with a hint of raspberry when young evolves to salmon while ageing. The fine bubbles are due to a strict selection of the best grapes, perfectly controlled temperature in the cellar and very long ageing. The initial aromas of redcurrant and red fruits evolve to morello cherry, wild strawberry and violet while breathing in the glass. A touch of lemon denotes the discrete presence of Chardonnay. With age, aromas tend towards dark fruits like dark cherry, fig and blackberry. Red fruit captured at their full freshness on the palate. The finish is bright and long.

93 Points, Decanter

There's a touch of orange peel on the nose along with notes of tart red fruit. Despite the lightness and delicacy there is concentration on a creamy palate, where lemon and strawberry play off each other. The finish reveals even richer citrus on this subtle wine.

Winemaker Notes

This wine is made with 40% Macabeo, 40% Xarel-lo, 10% Parellada and 10% Chardonnay. The grapes are picked from mid-August until the end of September. The handpicked and mechanically harvested grapes come from our vineyard site called “Can Bas” with an average age of vines of 15 years. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at a very low temperature between 12 -14 ºC for several days. The coupage wine obtained undergoes 2nd fermentation in the bottle according to the traditional “Méthode Champenoise”. We employ a strain of yeast which increases mannoprotein content in the cava in order to achieve velvety and creamy mouth feel.

The wine is fresh on the nose with hints of white flowers and white peach. On the palate, it's fresh with an excellent balance of acidity and some sweetness. It is rich with floral and creamy pastry undertones. Long and persistent finish.

94 Points, Wine & Spirits

This is a fascinating wine, the most vinous of Paillard’s current releases, offering quiet scents of fresh pear, dried caramel and honeycomb without any hint of sweetness. While Champagne without dosage can sometimes be aggressive in its textures or flavors, this one is delicate. The wine’s stamina seems to grow out of its rich flavor depth, extending into a luscious texture and compelling persistence.

Winemaker Notes

There are more than 30 crus of the finest terroir of Champagne in the blend, the
composition of which is a house secret. Exceptionally high for Champagne, the “reserve wines” account for half of the blend. They are the other essential player in the D : Z cuvée. Some of these wines underwent their first fermentation in barrel. They were then kept in stainless steel, and for some of them for more than 10 years in bottle, resulting in an intensified autolysis. Ageing is far longer than the legal requirement: three to four years in bottle “sur lies”, followed by six months rest after disgorgement.

Review, Vos Selections

100% Pinot Noir from vines that average 38 year old. The grapes come from the best plots, and this cuvée includes reserve wine from three years back. It is only made in the best years. The aging is adapted to each vintage, between 3 and 8 years. Generous and age-worthy, the Noir is a reflection of the distinguished terroir of Les Riceys. It is incredibly balanced, with aromas that are both fruity and spicy. On the palate, hint of citrus fruit and spices and a long, nutty finish. Dosage: 3gr/l.

94 Points, Jamie Goode

12% alcohol. A blend of Pinot Noir (60%) and Chardonnay (40%) from eight crus. 20% fermented in used French oak barrels. Eight years on lees followed by 16 months post-disgorgement aging (something Bruno insists on). Disgorged in March 2020 with a typically low dosage of 4.5g/litre. This has a beguiling aromatic nose with some honey, marzipan, nut and toast, but leaving room for the vibrant fruity notes of cherry, apple and lemon. There’s lovely acidity on the palate that isn’t obscured by too much dosage, and it breathes life into the cherry, table grape and lemony fruit, with some orange peel and almond nuts, as well as a tapering lemony finish with a hint of seaweed and oyster shell. Complex, covering lots of different layers of the flavour spectrum, finishing assertive and bright. A serious effort.

A dashing and elegant bubble offered by this Crémant aged one year in barrels then 18 months on laths, which gives it a lot of complexity. The aging on lees gives it a fatty side, enhanced by the natural acidity of the Chenin. A Crémant de Loire that is out of the ordinary!
