Pierre Paillard Champagne 'Les Parcelles' Bouzy Grand Cru NV

Les Parcelles offer plenty of Bouzy character by delivering a wine of depth and creamy richness. Flavors and aromas of toasted bread, pear nectar and honey unfold upon the palate. The finish is all smoke and lees and lingering toastiness. In combination, the wine is generous, complex and multi-faceted with broad appeal.

Pierre Paillard is a small grower with eleven hectares of vines, all located in Grand Cru Bouzy. Paillard is unique in the area because of their high percentage of Chardonnay in an area known for Pinot Noir (40% Chardonnay/60% Pinot Noir). The winery has been in the family for eight generations, and they have been bottling under the Pierre Paillard name for four generations. They farm sustainably, use spontaneous yeast fermentations, and never stop malo. The wines benefit from extended ageing on the lees, but maintain a fresh, fruit-driven core and elegant balance.
