Champagne BRUNO PAILLARD Extra Brut “Cuvée 72”: A Journey through Time and Flavors

Champagne Bruno Paillard Extra Brut “Cuvée 72” embodies a remarkable expression of tradition and innovation. Born from a 72-month maturation process, elegantly combining 36 months in bottle on lees followed by 36 months of rest after disgorging, this exceptional cuvée offers a new dimension to the Première Cuvée Extra-Brut. It is a journey through time that highlights the complexity and depth of a great champagne.

The Genesis of the Cuvée Bruno Paillard 72

The Extra Brut 72 Champagne Cuvée is the result of a delicate alchemy between tradition and audacity. Little sister of the famous Première Cuvée Extra-Brut, it is made from a perpetual reserve enriched at each harvest by a selection of first presses of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Meunier. Some of these grape varieties benefit from a first fermentation in barrels, giving the cuvée its unique character and aromatic intensity.

Assembly: The Art of Balance

The assembly of Cuvée 72 is a true act of creation: 45% Pinot Noir for structure, 33% Chardonnay for finesse and 22% Pinot Meunier for roundness. This meticulous composition is the secret of its perfect harmony, reflecting the unparalleled know-how of the BRUNO PAILLARD house.

Breeding: Rewarded Patience

The aging of the Cuvée de Champagne Bruno Paillard 72 is a demanding 72-month process, split into two crucial phases. The first 36 months on lees in the bottle are followed by 36 months of post-disgorging maturation. This traditional method is the key to the complexity and depth of flavors that the vintage reveals.
