Bruno Paillard

Blanc de Blancs 1999 | Magnum 150cl

Description

The 1999 Blanc de Blancs from Maison Bruno Paillard is an exceptional vintage that strikes the right balance between minerality, floral aromas and candied citrus peel. To illustrate this wine, French painter Guillemette Schlumberger worked on the theme of "Vivacité".

The balance, aromatic density and purity of the harvested grapes make 1999 a very classic, rather rich vintage, in the great Champagne tradition.

This cuvée is made exclusively from the purest first press of Chardonnay Grands Crus. These grapes are picked in the heart of the Côte des Blancs at Oger and Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, a terroir of excellence for Chardonnays.

This champagne has a deep gold-green color and lively effervescence, with extremely fine bubbles.

The nose reveals citrus, tangerine and almond notes at first, then evolves towards "toasted", toasted bread, to finish with liquorice and candied orange peel nuances.

On the palate, the liveliness is still very noticeable, and the freshness is always present, balanced by a fine structure and great length.
