Bruno Paillard Première Cuvée NV Review
Half of the Bruno Paillard Première Cuvée comes from a reserve wine, a blend of 25 vintages that were first composed in 1985. The sparkling wine includes grapes from more than 30 of Champagne’s 320 crus and is considered a very personal interpretation of the whole region. With less than six grams of sugar per liter, the Première Cuvée is an extra brut bottling. This bottle is focused, with piercing acidity and layers of citrus. Hints of brioche and nuts add a flavorful evolution while an incredible refreshing character drives throughout. Pair with anything you’re craving but for a flavorful experience, try with crispy, fried foods.
