Bruno Paillard - Blanc de Blanc 2013 Extra Brut 750ml
"This vintage Blanc de Blanc 2013 was produced exclusively from the first pressing - the purest - of Oger and Mesnil-sur-Oger grands crus. Characterised by great finesse and rare freshness, this wine is delightfully chiseled and saline whilst also displaying the fullness of a prolonged lees ageing.
Today its serene and unrestrained character inspired the theme "Liberte", which has been illustrated by French artist Anne Commet.
Lees ageing : 7 Years - Dosage : 4,5 gr/L - Production : 15,173 bottles and 1.001 magnums
Disgorgement: September 2021" - Bruno Paillard
"Pale gold, with a lacy, languid filigree; a persistent if nonchalant mousse. The aromatic is subtle; hints of white peach and spring gardens, Mesnil rigor tempered by dilatory whispers of Oger rondeur. This pattern is duplicated on the palate: Mesnil chalk, grip, and length find harmonious counterpoint in the softer fruit character gifted by Oger; orange and red apple to the fore. There are notes of ginger and almond, too, then a quiet confidence on the finish, quinine and verbena evidenced. This is thoughtful and gently charismatic, thus capturing the essence of vintage and winemaker alike. | 93–94" - World of Fine Wine
