Bruno Paillard Champagne Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut 2015

Bruno Paillard’s 2015 Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut is a precise, Chardonnay-led Champagne from the Côte des Blancs, prized for its chalky minerality and restrained dosage. Made by the traditional method, it also reflects the house’s distinctive Demi Mousse approach, designed to create a gentler pressure and particularly fine bead.

Tasting Notes
Pale gold with green highlights, it opens on lively lime and grapefruit, followed by white flowers. With air, notes of toasted almonds and bread crust emerge. The palate is energetic, combining white-fleshed fruit with pronounced mineral character and a fresh, lingering finish. Its four years on the lees bring added complexity while preserving freshness. It can be enjoyed now; careful cellaring may allow further development, though no specific drinking window is provided.

Production
The fruit comes from Grand Cru vineyards in the Côte des Blancs, where chalk-rich soils contribute to the wine’s mineral profile and aromatic precision. It is made from Chardonnay using the traditional bottle-fermentation method. Bruno Paillard’s Demi Mousse technique uses less sugar for the second fermentation, resulting in a gentler pressure and fine mousse. The Champagne spends four years ageing on its lees, followed by ten months of rest after disgorgement. Harvesting details are not provided.

Food & Serving
Serve well chilled, around 8–10°C, with oysters, scallops, delicate white fish or fresh goat’s cheese; its crisp acidity and mineral edge also suit lightly salted aperitifs. A short rest in the glass can reveal its toasted notes, so decanting is not essential.
