NV Bruno Paillard Premiere Cuvee Rose

A bright pale pink, the NV Champagne Première Cuvée Rosé is based on the 2018 vintage and has the addition of 33% reserve wine, with no more than 5% red wine added to the blend (the majority Pinot Noir) as well as 10-20% Chardonnay. It’s fresh, floral and inviting, with aromas of tangerine, fresh peach, wild strawberry, and fresh roses. Medium-bodied, it’s graceful and pretty through the palate, with juicy fruit that fills the palate with a fluffy mousse and clean citrus finish. Although it should have a fair bit of longevity, it’s a very charming Champagne now, with a lot of versatility. Disgorged in December 2022, with 5 grams per liter of dosage.

Grapefruit, freshly crushed strawberries, stones and subtle cream. The fine perlage cuts through the medium-bodied palate with solid red berry and citrus fruit. Disgorged in February 2022. Drink now.

Disgorged in January 2022, Paillard’s NV Extra-Brut Première Cuvée Rosé exhibits aromas of peaches, wild strawberries, Griotte cherries and spices. Medium to full-bodied, bright and tensile, it’s concentrated and incisive. It concludes with a bright, long and penetrating finish.
