Bruno Paillard Description
Showcasing the bright delicacy of Pinot Noir, the Première Cuvée Rosé is named on account of its composition of only the first pressing.
THE BLEND: This Multi Vintage rosé, made from Pinot Noir, is created in two ways:
- White wine from Pinot Noir: after a quick pressing, and a fast separation of the skins, the juice is very pale and can be vinified as a white wine.
- Red wine from Pinot Noir is obtained by a prolonged maceration of the juice on the skins.
The blend is composed of reserve wines, 25 vintages, going back to 1985.
WINEMAKING AND AGEING: Three years sur lie, then a minimum of a further five months after disgorgement. Extra- Brut, very low dosage, less than 6 g/l.
APPEARANCE: The pink copper color with a hint of raspberry when young evolves to salmon while aging. The fine bubbles are due to a strict selection of the best grapes, perfectly controlled temperature in the cellar and very long aging.
NOSE: The initial aromas of redcurrant and red fruits evolve to morello cherry, wild strawberry, and violet while breathing in the glass. A touch of lemon denotes the discrete presence of chardonnay. With age, aromas tend towards dark fruits like dark cherry, fig, and blackberry.
PALATE: Reveals red fruit captured at their full freshness. The finish is bright and long.
