Somm Note
Winemaker Notes
Crystalline and pale pink colors. The sparkle is tiny and elegant. The first nose is mineral and flowery (Iris bloom) followed by aromas of small red fruit (raspberry, redcurrant) and freshly pressed citrus (grapefruit, mandarin orange). A very elegant nose. Very harmonious. The Chardonnay brings minerality and freshness, blended with more intense notes of wild strawberries. The finale is long and delicious.

Wine & Spirits
The Paillards blend this wine from Chardonnay (70 percent) and Pinot Noir (30 percent); the color comes from Bouzy rouge (six percent of the overall blend) from 45-year-old vines. That also lends the wine an essence of red fruit, gentle scents of raspberries and strawberries that last. As succulent, creamy and cushioned as this wine may be, it has clarity and drive.

Wine Spectator
Open-knit and chalky, this minerally rosé frames hints of white raspberry, smoke, biscuit and preserved lemon with firm acidity and a light floral overtone.
Bouzy is located in the heart of the Montagne de Reims, a renowned Grand Cru for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The Paillard family settled here in the early 18th century. Eight generations later, they have become an independent Family House, ambitious in its vine-growing expectations.
Respect of the soil, control of the yields, vinification per plot and long ageing are the important characteristics of our wines and the motivations behind their daily work.
All of their champagnes are produced from their grapes grown on one of the most prestigious Grand Cru terroirs in Champagne: Bouzy. Our vineyards make up 11 hectares (28 acres), composed of 60% Pinot Noir and 40 % Chardonnay.
