We offer a rare opportunity to access Champagne Bruno Paillard Blanc de Blancs Millesime 2002 Extra Brut 1.5 L — a wine rarely available on the open market.
Bruno Paillard Blanc de Blancs Millésime 2002 (Magnum) is for those who want a fully developed Chardonnay Champagne with depth and movement, not just freshness. It fits a long dinner or a bottle to open slowly and follow over time. The reason to choose it: a warm, low-yield vintage combined with extended aging, giving concentration without heaviness. From Grand Cru Chardonnay of the Côte des Blancs, built on the house’s multi-cru approach and long post-disgorgement aging. 2002 brings ripeness and clarity, with a vertical, energetic profile.
Bruno Paillard presents a focused range of cuvées built around a terroir-driven approach to Champagne. The wines are produced in an Extra Brut style, emphasizing mineral structure, tension and precision. Even the multi-vintage Première Cuvée shows strong ageing potential. Over the years, Bruno Paillard, working across 32 hectares, has established itself among the leading addresses in Champagne. The house relies on a system of reserve wines developed since 1985 using a solera approach, contributing to depth and continuity of style. Born in 1953 into a family of brokers deeply connected to the Champagne trade, Bruno Paillard founded his house in 1981 and quickly gained international recognition despite its modest scale. Operating as a négociant-propriétaire, the estate owns vineyards in 15 villages, including Oger, Le Mesnil, Verzenay and Bouzy. While not certified organic, vineyard work follows many organic principles, with biodynamic practices applied on selected parcels. Wines undergo extended ageing on lees, with limited use of oak (around 20% of production). Only the first-press juice is used, and most cuvées complete malolactic fermentation. The style is defined by clarity, fine mousse and low dosage, combining elegance with a precise, restrained structure. Nec Plus Ultra 2009 remains one of the reference wines of the house.
