Champagne Pierre Paillard Les Parcelles Bouzy Grand Cru Extra Brut 12 NV
Champagne, FranceBased on the 2012 vintage. This extra brut is an impressive 2.6 /gl dosage and was disgorged 2016 December, after four years on the lees, and comprised of 60/40 chardonnay/pinot noir. It's rare to see this amount of chardonnay in a blend from this red-centric region, and gives a distinct character to this impressive and terroir-focused family founded and run house. Highly impressive, with a gossamer meringue, fine cream, fine nut base, succulent, but with a tight grip of chalky acidity. The family-owned, sustainably farmed grower champagne house continues to impress each year. The vines average 25-years of age and span 22 Grand Cru rated parcels. Drinking beautifully now (that structure!) but will age gracefully in your cellar.Tasted: 09 December 2017Tasted by: Treve Ring & Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $57.00 | 750ml | BCLS |
