Champagne Bruno Paillard Extra Brut Rosè Premier Cuvee 75 cl

CUZ BP 84003

A hymn to the bright delicacy of Pinot Noir, the Premiere Cuvee Rosé is named on account of its composition of only the first pressing.

Multi-vintage rosé, made with Pinot Noir, is created in two ways:
White wine from Pinot Noir: after a quick pressing, and a fast separation of the skins, the juice is very pale and can be vinified as a white wine.
Red wine from Pinot Noir: is obtained by a prolonged maceration of the juice on the skins.
A touch of Chardonnay brings the necessary vivacity to balance the fruits of Pinot Noir.

The blend: First pressing of mainly Pinot Noir with some Chardonnay, the amount of which remains a secret.

Reserve wines: a blend of 25 vintages, going back to 1985.

Ageing: three years sur lie, then a minimum of a further five months after disgorgement.

Dosage: Extra brut, very low dosage, less than 6g/L. A very pure wine.

Tasting by Bruno Paillard

EYE: The pink copper colour with a hint of raspberry when young evolves to salmon while ageing. The fine bubbles are due to a strict selection of the best grapes, perfectly controlled temperature in the cellar and very long ageing.

NOSE: The initial aromas of redcurrant and red fruits evolve to morello cherry, wild strawberry and violet while breathing in the glass. A touch of lemon denotes the discrete presence of Chardonnay. With age, aromas tend towards dark fruits like dark cherry, fig and blackberry.

PALATE: Reveals red fruit captured at their full freshness. The finish is bright and long.

Food Pairings: The Rose Premiere Cuvee is a great match to fine italian charcuterie, sushi, poultry or red fruit salad.
