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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePale 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.\n\nIts 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eServe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bruno Paillard","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55328720847185,"sku":"XW-62889","price":121.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bottlehero.com\/products\/bruno-paillard-champagne-grand-cru-blanc-de-blancs-extra-brut-2015","provider":"Bottle Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
