Vintus

Brut Première Cuvée, Champagne

Only the first pressing, the finest and the purest, is used for this Champagne, hence the name “Première Cuvée”. A very high percentage of wine from the noblest grape varieties is used: around 22% of Pinot Meunier, 33% of Chardonnay and 45% of Pinot Noir. "Reserve" wines are always added, set aside in previous vintages. The wine is matured in bottle far beyond the legally required minimum period. As in all Bruno Paillard Champagnes, the "dosage" (addition of sugar) is kept very low so as to produce as natural a wine as possible.

“The wine's underlying richness is layered with higher tones of spiced apple, grapefruit, vanilla and clove. Tailored for a men's club.” 90 Wine & Spirits, December 2008

“An elegant and slightly yeasty nose that is quite fine and leads to detailed, intense, crisp and savory flavors that possess good richness and this does not thin out or stop short on the finish. Very solid quality at this level and it will certainly offer several years of in-bottle improvement if you enjoy aging non-vintage cuvées.” 90/now+ Burghound, 4th Quarter 2007
