How to serve it
Tasting notes
Brilliant straw yellow with a very fine mousse. The nose shows citrus, orange blossom, hawthorn and bread crust, opening to spice and cedar. The palate is creamy, with hints of honey and dried fruit, chalky minerality and a long, clean finish.
About this wine
Founded in Reims in 1981 by Bruno Paillard and now led by his daughter Alice, this Champagne house builds its style on first-pressing juice only, chalky minerality, elegance and energy.
Cuvée 72 is the sister of the Première Cuvée, a blend of 45% Pinot Noir, 33% Chardonnay and 22% Pinot Meunier, with part of the wine fermented in barrels. Its name comes from the total ageing of around 72 months before release: 36 months on the lees and at least another 36 months after disgorgement.
The Extra Brut dosage keeps it precise, while the long ageing adds creamy depth and complexity.
