Bruno Paillard Assemblage 2012

Assemblage is a blend of 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Chardonnay, a fifth of the base wine was fermented in oak barrels and the wine aged for eight years on lees and a further year after disgorgement when it received an extra brut dosage of just 4.5g/l.

A bright, dry Champagne, this is well balanced, freshly textured and packed with tight, mineral acidity. This relatively young bottling will be best from 2022.
