Bruno Paillard Extra Brut Premiere Cuvee

Bruno Paillard Brut Premiere Cuvee

A straw gold color and very fine bubbles. Its delicate hue comes from 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, and 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."

Critical Acclaim

91 James Suckling

Apricot, dried apple, dried lemon, shortbread and almond on the nose. Medium-bodied with sharp acidity and fine bubbles on the creamy, biscuity and dry palate. Very fresh and balanced. Drink now

92 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

This bottle of Paillard's NV Extra Brut Première Cuvée was disgorged in May 2018, and it's showing well, unfurling in the glass with aromas of lemon oil, ripe apple, brioche and dried white flowers. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, with an elegant but broad-shouldered profile, displaying good concentration at the core, a fine mousse and brisk balancing acids, concluding with an elegantly chalky finish. Based on the 2014 vintage, this is a classy, incisive wine that will reward bottle age.

91 Vinous

The NV Extra Brut Premiere Cuvée is bright, precise and beautifully focused. In other words, a classic Bruno Paillard Champagne. Lemon confit, white flowers, tangerine peel, chamomile and dried flowers all grace this taut, super-expressive NV Champagne. Medium in body and airy, with terrific depth the Premiere Cuvée is classy and inviting. Time in the glass brings out the breadth and textural richness of the red grapes in the blend. It will drink beautifully as an aperitif or with lighter foods at the dinner table.
