92 John Gilman - View from the Cellar

"The new release of Bruno Paillard’s Première Cuvée is outstanding, wafting from the glass in a complex and classy blend of apple, lemon zest, brioche, complex minerality and a nice touch of orange peel in the upper register. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, complex and snappy, with an excellent core, fine focus, very elegant, pinpoint bubbles and excellent length and grip on the youthful and snappy finish. While there is plenty of pleasure to be had drinking this wine today, I would opt for giving it a couple of years in the cellar to loosen up a bit structurally. This is fine juice. 2012-2030."

"Bruno Paillard's NV Brut Première Cuvée is absolutely delicious. Subtle hints of yellow orchard fruit, pastry and dried flowers grace the palate. Understated and gracious, with fine bubbles and exceptional balance, the Première Cuvée is a classic Bruno Paillard Champagne that emphasizes finesse over all else. Disgorged March, 2015. Dosage is 6 grams per liter."
