BRUNO PAILLARD Cuvée 72 is a champagne made from 45% Pinot Noir, 33% Chardonnay and 22% Pinot Meunier. It takes its name from 36 months in the bottle on lees + 36 months of rest after disgorging… or 72 months of maturation before shipping. This is a variation on the time and development of the complexity of the Première Cuvée Extra-Brut. In a way a “second release” for this cuvée 30 months after its initial release. This magnificent cuvée is made from a perpetual reserve of reserve wines with a new harvest, a selection of first presses of Meunier, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, some of which undergo their first fermentation in barrels. An extra brut champagne evolving from fruity to more floral, spicy, even toasted aromas.
"Based on the solera principle, Cuvée 72 benefits from 36 months of aging and 36 months of maturation after disgorging. It is obviously a wine with a more oxidative profile, but with a beautiful depth." Favorite – Revue des Vins de France 2021

Nose : First direct nose still slightly dominated by citrus fruits, opening with a progressive breadth towards white flowers (orange blossom, hawthorn, light acacia…) and bread crust. The patient taster will discover notes of spices, saffron or cedar wood.
Palate : Attack both lively and enveloping. The nose is confirmed, joined by flavors of redcurrant jelly and black fruits. The creamy texture reveals slightly honeyed notes and dried fruits, even slightly candied. The chalk is very present. The finish, very pure, is long and ample.

THE BRAND
Bruno Paillard is a Champagne producer based in Reims in the Champagne region. The house was founded in 1981 by Bruno Paillard, after having worked as a broker in the region since 1975. The Bruno Paillard Champagne house was born from its founder's desire to create a champagne unlike any other "extremely pure". A great champagne according to the Bruno Paillard style is a "blend" of various crus, grape varieties and vintages. It is the constant desire to capture the quintessence of finesse and elegance. "Champagne must be served and not used." Faithful to this motto and a lover of Champagne, Bruno Paillard is keen to defend it and help shape it. The Bruno Paillard style is a marriage of elegance and complexity that is manifested by a light and suave effervescence, a remarkable purity, a real freshness and a silky texture. The effervescence must be delicate. The bubbles are very small, almost microscopic, but they are what release the aromas of the wine and give it a smooth and creamy texture in the mouth.
