Champagne Pierre Paillard - Les Parcelles XIX Bouzy Grand Cru - Extra Brut

Key words: Intense / Finesse / Vinosity / Balance

Wine: This sublime Champagne "Les Parcelles" is a pure and precise expression of the Grand Cru classified village of Bouzy, famous land located at the foot of the Montagne de Reims. Endowed with a magnificent balance where the vinosity of Pinot noir combines with the generosity of the house's Chardonnays, this is a sparkling wine of great complexity and precision. We delight in its aromas of ripe citrus fruits, green apple, brioche, fresh almonds, honey and toast. A very light dosage makes it possible to be close to the terroir and imparts to the whole a great finesse and an airy side. A huge favourite that will be enjoyed as an aperitif or at the table!

The estate: Located in Bouzy, a Grand Cru classified village located at the foot of the Montagne de Reims, the Pierre Paillard estate is an 11-hectare farm run by the 8th family generation with the brothers Antoine and Quentin Paillard. 70% of the grape variety is made up of Pinot Noir and supplemented by 3.5 hectares of Chardonnay. The champagnes produced by the two brothers are magnificent expressions of their village and terroirs, perfectly reflecting the vinosity of the Pinots noirs of Bouzy as well as the richness and generosity of the few Chardonnays in the area. In the vineyard, pesticides and herbicides have been banned for many years and the conversion to organic is now underway. The soils are worked meticulously and very particular attention is also paid to the choice of plant material. In the cellar, the Paillard approach is not very interventionist, in particular with a minimal use of sulphur. The wines are vinified by parcel and aged up to 10 years on slats for the finest vintages. Discover these great Champagne winegrowers and let yourself be captivated by the quality of their bubbles!
