    Description of Pierre Paillard Les Maillerettes Grand Cru

    Estate

    Champagne Pierre Paillard is a respected family house known for its rigorous craftsmanship and pursuit of excellence. Situated in the heart of the Montagne de Reims, it benefits from an ideal terroir for the development of Pinot Noir. The estate pays careful attention to every production stage, from grape selection to vinification.

    Vineyard

    The Montagne de Reims vineyard, home to Pierre Paillard, is renowned for its clay-limestone and chalky soils that encourage the pure expression of Pinot Noir. The temperate climate and varied exposures allow for a natural balance between ripeness and freshness in the grapes.

    Wine

    This 2018 Champagne made entirely from Pinot Noir offers a fine and elegant expression while maintaining full structure and pleasant freshness. The house celebrates the vintage’s typicity through traditional methods that emphasize purity and aromatic precision.

    Vintage

    2018 is recognized as an outstanding vintage in the region, marked by a hot and dry summer followed by a slow maturation in early autumn, ensuring balance and concentration. This vintage promises a complex and expressive wine, both generous and fresh.

    Vinification & Aging

    Traditional vinification in stainless steel tanks with carefully controlled fermentations preserves the grape's freshness. Aging in temperature-controlled cellars ensures harmonious maturation before disgorgement, allowing the wine to develop finesse and complexity.
