On the nose, this vintage champagne offers complexity and depth: green apples and citrus fruits—especially lemon and grapefruit—are combined with layers of brioche, toasted bread, almonds, and delicate honey notes; subtle spices and chalky minerality are also present. On the palate, the wine is very structured and vibrant: fine, creamy bubbles provide texture while emphasizing a clean, dry profile. The taste transitions from refreshing citrus accents to deeper mineral and brioche notes, and the finish is long, clean, and very precise, with a clear line of acidity that imparts a sense of energy and longevity.
About the manufacturer
Champagne Bruno Paillard is an independent, family-owned Champagne house in the Champagne region, founded in 1981 by Bruno Paillard when he sought to create a Champagne focused not on quick consumption or a commercial style, but on precision, longevity, and the expression of terroir. From the very beginning, the house distinguished itself with a very conscious philosophy: smaller yields, longer aging on lees, extremely low dosage (Extra Brut style), and maximum transparency in the wine's structure. Today, his daughter Alice Paillard continues this direction, strengthening the idea that Champagne should be vibrant, responsible, and connected to its place, rather than just a "consistent product." This is a house that combines classic Champagne elegance with a modern approach based on sustainability and precision.
Alice Paillard is a second-generation leader who took the helm of her family's house and established a modern yet value-consistent vision. In an interview, she emphasizes that her relationship with champagne was formed from childhood, growing up in the Champagne region, where wine was not just a product, but a part of culture and people's stories, associated with memories, taste, and community. Leading the company, she speaks about the balance between tradition and responsibility – maintaining the principles established by her father, while adapting them to the modern world, especially in the areas of sustainability, transparency, and people's relationship with nature. Her approach is calm, reflective, and focused on a long-term vision – not rapid growth, but a deep expression of quality and terroir.
