Bruno Paillard Vintage Assemblage 2008 is a remarkable expression of Champagne, crafted from a blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier sourced from exceptional vineyards. The 2008 vintage benefitted from a warm growing season, allowing for extended grape ripening while preserving acidity. This Champagne spent over eight years maturing on its lees, contributing to its nuanced complexity. In the glass, it presents a pale gold hue with persistent, delicate bubbles. Aromas of ripe citrus, red berries and subtle spices emerge, while the palate reflects a structured yet elegant profile, leading to a mineral finish.
