Bruno Paillard
Bruno Paillard is a dreamer, perfectionist and a romantic, but above all, makes excellent Champagne. In the early 80s he seized the opportunity to make Champagne in his own name. Selling his Jaguar, and using old family contacts, he bought grapes from only the best vineyards, setting himself against the established houses. He has succeeded with the Blanc de Blancs, 100% Chardonnay, is from only Grand Cru vineyards rated as the very best in the region.

Falstaff (96)Wet chalk with just a hint of lemon is the first impression. With time, that lemon note becomes more self-assured and begins to verge into a notion of lemon oil, yet always with that chalky stoniness. The palate is precise and pure with concentration despite its poised nature, accentuated by brisk, bright, taut freshness. The edges shimmer with white pepper and citrus. A sleek, elegant and statuesque wine of impeccable balance that will open up vividly with some more bottle age. Bravo. |

Vinous (95)The 2008 Extra Brut N.P.U. Nec Plus Ultra is a brilliant, taut Champagne. The combination of vintage and the extra brut style favored a Paillard that yields a young Champagne that is quite austere. It will be interesting to see if the 2008 fills out with time in bottle. Today it is piercing in its intensity. Disgorged: April, 2019. |

Vinous - Antonio Galloni (92)A model of understatement and finesse, the NV Brut Première Cuvée is classic Bruno Paillard. Almonds, jasmine, lemon peel and lime float on the palate in a Champagne that impresses for its weightless, totally gracious personality. Bright chalky, saline-infused notes support the crystalline finish. The Brut Première Cuvée is 45% Pinot Noir, 33% Chardonnay and 22% Pinot Meunier. I have seen the Paillard wines show best with a little more time on the cork, and am inclined to do the same thing here. |
