EYE The pink copper colour 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.
NOSE 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.
PALATE Reveals red fruit captured at their full freshness. The finish is bright and long.

 The current release of Bruno Paillard ‘Première Cuvée’ non-vintage Extra Brut is from the base year of 2016 and was disgorged in June of 2020. Like all of Alice Paillard’s wines, it shows supreme elegance on both the nose and palate, with the bouquet wafting from the glass in a mix of apple, pear, warm bread, a complex base of chalky soil tones, gentle smokiness and a hint of hazelnut in the upper register. On the palate the wine is crisp, full-bodied, focused and complex, with a lovely core, excellent soil undertow, zesty acids and a long, poised and impeccably balanced finish. This is the epitome of refinement- as Champagne should be! (Drink between 2021-2055)Â
