Yellow apple, lemon peel, mushroomy, a bit creamy, toasted bread, savory, med plus acidity, med plus finish. A savory NV champagne calls for food.

Another standout producer from a recent tasting, Bruno Paillard is a new discovery for me, and I find myself wondering how it is I've never tasted it before. "...putting together a wine is very like for a painter carefully choosing the origin of colours." As a trained fine artist and former winemaker, I could not agree more. The Première Cuvée boasts classical lines and multi-faceted beauty, one first notices the extremely fine mousse, followed by razor-sharp minerality, oyster shells and bubbles.

One of my favorite houses. Great balance of your reductive style with a linear style mix
