Bruno Paillard Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru NV

TASTING NOTE BY MSQ

【Bruno Paillard —— 追求絕對純淨的香檳藝術家​】

同好多歷史動輒數百年嘅香檳大廠唔同，Bruno Paillard 係一個相對年輕嘅品牌，但佢對品質嘅堅持、以及創新嘅理念令它喺短短幾十年內就躋身頂級香檳之列。

Bruno Paillard 由一開始就堅定咁向低補糖同強調純淨果味嘅方向發展，喺當時來講可以話係非常前衛嘅做法。另外，酒莊仲堅持超長嘅酒泥陳年時間。長時間嘅酒泥接觸，會賦予酒體極高嘅複雜度、圓潤口感同烤麵包、餅乾般嘅香氣，而無需依賴高劑量的糖分來平衡。

Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru 由 100% Chardonnay釀造，與酵母陳釀4年，除渣後再陳釀最少10個月，青檸葡萄柚及白花香氣活潑清新，後段帶甜包奶香，入口果味同樣活潑，礦物味高雅。

TASTING NOTE BY WINE CRITICS

Disgorged in May 2022, the Paillard NV Extra-Brut Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru is superbly fresh, offering up aromas of orchard fruit, lemon, spring flowers and menthol touches. Medium to full-bodied, expressive and precise with a delicate mousse, it’s seamless, vinous, chalky and harmonious with a clean and precise finish.
