2012 Champagne Pierre Paillard Grand Cru La Grande Récolte Millésime
$ 550.00 AUD
Pierre Paillard is one of the truly great organic and biodynamic growers in Champagne. The Bouzy Grand Cru La Grande Récolte is a 50% blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grown on old vines that lay upon soils of hard chalk bedrock with clay topsoil. Old vines like these, in a terroir as special as the Grand Cru of Bouzy, produce great wines even in less special years. But, in the vintage of a generation they have given something truly remarkable—a concentrated, streamlined vintage Champagne that will last for generations to come.

About the wine
Tasting notes
The Grand Cru La Grande Récolte 2012 is tense, sophisticated and very complex. The colour is gold and offers refined aromas of red berries, blood orange and chalky minerality. The bubbles are thin, creamy and sensuous. Drink now, but hold for more savoury complexities.
