Champagne Bruno Paillard, a renowned Champagne house and one of the few remaining independent, family-owned maisons in the region, is proud to announce the U.S. release of its highly anticipated Blanc de Noirs Grand Cru multi-vintage champagne. This new offering serves as a Pinot Noir counterpart to the house’s existing Blanc de Blancs, which has been a staple in the U.S. market for several decades.

Imported by Massanois Fine Wines & Craft Spirits of New York, the Bruno Paillard Blanc de Noirs Grand Cru is priced at $119 per bottle, offering consumers a premium Champagne experience at a competitive price point.

Crafted from fruit sourced from four Grand Crus – Verzenay, Mailly, Verzy, and Bouzy – the Blanc de Noirs Grand Cru showcases the unique terroirs of Champagne’s northern grand crus. The blend of Pinot Noir from these prestigious vineyards results in a champagne that is characterized by its clean, clear, and precise flavors, a signature of Champagne Bruno Paillard.

Alice Paillard, who took over the reins at Champagne Bruno Paillard in 2018, explains the unique characteristics of the new Blanc de Noirs Grand Cru, stating, “The characteristic freshness of Pinot Noir from the northern Grand Crus is juxtaposed with the richness of Pinot Noir from Bouzy, resulting in a champagne that offers a perfect balance of tension and texture, making it ideal for food and wine enthusiasts.”

The winemaking process for the Blanc de Noirs Grand Cru involves using juice from the first pressing only, with the majority of the wine being vinified in stainless steel tanks. A small proportion (15-20%) is aged in used oak barrels to enhance the complexity of the blend. The champagne spends three years on the lees before being disgorged and aged for a minimum of six months in the cellar. Like all Maison Bruno Paillard Champagnes, the Blanc de Noirs Grand Cru is an Extra-Brut with a dosage of 3 g/l, with the disgorgement date clearly indicated on the back label.

Upon tasting, the Blanc de Noirs Grand Cru showcases a chiseled structure and freshness, with notes of saline, umami, rose petals, red cherries, grapefruit, timut pepper, and kumquat, culminating in a harmonious and elegant finish.

The Champagne Bruno Paillard Blanc de Noirs Grand Cru MV is now available in the U.S. with a suggested retail price of $119 per bottle. Imported by Massanois Fine Wines & Craft Spirits of New York, this exquisite champagne is a testament to the dedication and craftsmanship of the Paillard family.
