Champagne, Pierre Paillard, Bouzy Grand Cru, NV

An uncompromising expression of Bouzy's south-facing Grand Cru terroir, this 80% Pinot Noir and 20% Chardonnay blend captures the chalk-clay soils' mineral precision across 30 carefully selected parcels. Minimal sulfur use and organic farming practices reflect a philosophy of letting the vineyard speak. The XXI designation indicates a 2021 base with reserve wines blended in. Pure, precise, and brimming with complexity.
