Paillard Rose Premier Cuvee

The biggest appeal to the wines of Bruno Paillard is their refinement and freshness. This is no blockbuster style bubbly, but rather a wine for those who appreciate finesse and delicacy –Champagne for smart people. There is no mountain of fruit, no blast of sour-dough bread and no needle sharp, tattoo-gun effervescence. This may be, simply put, the most perfectly balanced Rose Champagne you’re likely to buy. Beautiful cherry and strawberry fruit, orange zest and just a kiss of toast all seamlessly packed into a medium-bodied frame. Freshness is such a priority for Paillard that each and every bottle is stamped with the disgorgement date, for non-vintage Champagne ages like a loaf of Wonderbread. If you’re serious about Champagne, this wine would like to meet you.
Also available in 375ml size.

-Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar
