NV Bruno Paillard Dosage Zero, Champagne, France

Always the highest quality, our Multi Vintage wines have a mission to remain faithful to themselves across both the good years and the leaner ones. The D : Z cuvée represents the pursuit of purity, energy, harmony, and playing with the pitfalls which our terroir, sometimes austere, can bring if one lacks the patience…

Maison BP exclusively selects the first pressings of the three grape varieties, in majority vinified in small oak barrels. The blend is dominated by the terroirs of the northern slopes of Montagne de Reims and the first few kilometers on the right bank of the Marne Valley for the meunier, which in this cuvée, D : Z, is in the spotlight, with equal proportions of chardonnay and pinot noir.

Exceptionally high for Champagne, the «reserve wines» account for half of the blend.

Ageing is far longer than the legal requirement: three to four years in bottle “sur lies”, followed by six months rest after disgorgement. Dosage: Zero.
