Pierre Paillard 'Les Parcelles' Bouzy Grand Cru Extra Brut, Champagne, France NV
The Pierre Paillard 'Les Parcelles' is a precise expression of Bouzy terroir, combining a rich ripeness with chalky finesse. Harvested primerly in 2018 with 20% of reserve wines, this cuvée is composed of 70% Pinot Noir and 30% Chardonnay and has spent 3 years on lees before disgorgement.
All estate-grown fruit, from 28 acres exclusively in the Montagne de Reims Grand Cru top village of Bouzy.
'The NV Champagne Grand Cru Les Parcelles Bouzy Extra Brut is 70% Pinot Noir with the remainder Chardonnay, with the base wine coming from the 2017 vintage. It reveals very attractive aromas of toasted brioche, raspberry, lavender, and black cherry, and it is dry and inviting, with pure red fruits that fill the palate, with its florality lasting long after the finish, with a cleansing lift of salinity. This beautiful wine is deceptively easy drinking now.' - Jeb Dunnuck
