Pierre Paillard Les Parcelles Bouzy XXI Grand Cru Extra Brut

Eight generations of the Paillard family have been farming Grand Cru vines in Bouzy since 1768 and it shows. Les Parcelles is a pure expression of one of Champagne's most coveted villages: 80% Pinot Noir from south-facing slopes, balanced by the finesse of Bouzy's chalky subsoil, fermented in oak and aged three years on lees. Toasted brioche, raspberry, lavender, and dark cherry, with a cleansing lift of salinity on the finish. Serious Champagne at an honest price.
