Pierre Paillard

Les Mottelettes 2015 | Bottle 75cl

Description

Cuvée Les Mottelettes 2015 by Antoine and Quentin Paillard is a generous, expressive Blanc de Blancs champagne. It is a champagne characteristic of Chardonnays from the Montagne de Reims.

It's a cuvée that's particularly enjoyable as an aperitif or with fish dishes.

Cuvée Les Mottelettes 2015 is made from Chardonnay from the Grand Cru terroir of Bouzy, a Montagne de Reims terroir on which chalk outcrops.

At the estate, each parcel is pressed and vinified separately, and among the parcels, Les Mottelettes consistently stood out for its intense fruit. That's why this cuvée parcellaire was born.

Aged in stainless steel tanks to retain maximum freshness, Les Mottelettes 2015 Paillard is then bottled and brought down to the coolness of the house cellars. This prolonged ageing brings roundness and complexity to the champagne.

Cuvée Les Mottelettes 2015 is an Extra Brut (dosage of 1.8g/l) to preserve a fine balance between smoothness and freshness.

Cuvée Les Mottelettes 2015 Pierre Paillard is both delicate and full-bodied, with a golden color. The bubbles are fine and elegant.

Its bouquet evokes candied lemons and citron. On the second nose, notes of ripe fruit appear.

On the palate, this is a champagne with lovely tension, citrus notes and an iodized, salivating finish that lasts for long seconds.
