Champagne Pierre Paillard - Grand Cru Les Terres Roses NV

The Bouzy Grand Cru Rosé is a blend of the 2019 vintage (70%) and 30% reserve wine . The grape varieties used are Chardonnay accounting for 65% of the blend and Pinot Noir accounting for 35% of which 7% is added as red wine. In Bouzy at Pierre Paillard, the tradition is to blend their Champagne with some “Bouzy rouge”, a special cuvée of dry red wine made from the very qualitative Bouzy grapes. 7% of “Bouzy rouge” has been included into the blend providing a red fruit flavour that you can’t find anywhere else. Finally, the wine and then the Champagne spend 30 months on their lees to mature in the cellar.

It is very elegant and aromatic. The nose is deep, delivering aromas of red fruit and some hints of flowers. The mouthfeel is silky and the bubbles are tiny and elegant. Drink now. Extra Brut – 1.8 grams per litre of dosage. 

A serious, elegant rosé Champagne with a creamy, toasty nose. It's full and voluptuous in the mouth, with rich buttery brioche characters. As the palate evolves, the wine's freshness comes through, sweeping in with lemon and grapefruit and underpinning that cherry and almond frangipane richness with tense power. - Decanter
