Pierre Paillard Champagne Grand Cru Pinot noir Les Maillerettes Bouzy Extra Brut 2020

Pierre Paillard’s Les Maillerettes is a characterful Grand Cru Champagne from Bouzy, crafted entirely from Pinot Noir and bottled as an Extra Brut to let the vineyard speak clearly. Made from a single site in one of Champagne’s most acclaimed villages, it combines precision, depth, and a distinctly pinot-driven personality with real historic pedigree.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a refined, pale gold color with a lively, persistent mousse. The nose is bright and expressive, with aromas of red berries, citrus peel, chalk, and subtle brioche notes, followed by hints of spice and orchard fruit. On the palate, it is structured yet finely etched, offering crisp acidity, a dry and mineral-driven finish, and layers of red cherry, raspberry, lemon zest, and saline freshness. The 2020 vintage should have good aging potential, with the fruit and texture likely to evolve beautifully over time while retaining its precision.

Production
Les Maillerettes comes from Bouzy, a Grand Cru village in the Montagne de Reims known for its powerful, ripe Pinot Noir and chalky subsoils. The vineyard benefits from a favorable exposure and the cooling influence of Champagne’s climate, helping preserve freshness in a warm, expressive vintage like 2020. Harvesting is typically done by hand in Champagne, and the wine is vinified with a focus on transparency and site expression, then finished as Extra Brut to highlight purity and terroir.

Food & Serving
This Champagne works especially well with lobster, oysters, sashimi, roast chicken, or dishes featuring mushrooms and fine herbs. Serve chilled at around 8–10°C, and decanting is not necessary, though a short rest in the glass can help it open up and reveal more nuance.

Producer
Pierre Paillard is a respected family estate based in Bouzy, with a history rooted deeply in the Grand Cru terroir of the Montagne de Reims. Known for producing precise, terroir-driven Champagnes from estate-grown fruit, the house has earned a strong reputation for quality, balance, and a modern yet traditional expression of Pinot Noir in the village.
