It is the flagship of the BRUNO PAILLARD style.
A top quality wine, the Première Cuvée has to survive any harvest whether rich or poor.

Crus
More than 30 Crus, the composition of which is a house secret.

The blend
Exclusively first pressing – the purest juice – Pinot Noir (45%), Chardonnay (33%) and Pinot Meunier (22%), part of which (20%) was in barrel for the first fermentation.

Reserve wines
A blend of 25 vintages, since 1985; up to 50% of the final blend.

Ageing
Ageing is longer than the legal requirement; three years sur lie, then a minimum of a further five months after disgorgement.

Dosage
Extra brut, very low dosage, less than 6g/L. This creates a very pure, very authentic champagne. (For the record, the “extra brut” denotes a sugar level of up to 6g/L).
