Paillard Les Parcelles Bouzy Extra Brut Grand Cru Champagne

The NV Champagne Grand Cru Les Parcelles Bouzy Extra Brut is 70% Pinot Noir with the remainder Chardonnay, with the base wine coming from the 2017 vintage. It reveals very attractive aromas of toasted brioche, raspberry, lavender, and black cherry, and it is dry and inviting, with pure red fruits that fill the palate, with its florality lasting long after the finish, with a cleansing lift of salinity. This beautiful wine is deceptively easy drinking now. Disgorged July 2021. Drink 2022-2032. Score – 92+. (Audrey Frick, jebdunnuck.com, Nov. 7, 2022)
