The Bruno Paillard Blanc de Blancs Vintage 2004 is a vintage Champagne made exclusively from the first pressing of grapes from Grand Cru vineyards in the heart of the Côte des Blancs. This includes plots in Oger and Le Mesnil-sur-Oger within the producer`s 32 hectares of holdings. The 2004 vintage is noted for its elegance and spent nine years ageing sur lies. The profile is vivid and delicate, offering aromas of sharp citrus that evolve into warm notes of brioche, pepper, nutmeg and fresh almond. The palate is generous and vivacious, with rich flavours of candied citrus and frangipane, leading to a long, liquorice finish with saline and chalky notes.

Exclusively from the first pressing of outstanding Chardonnay Grand Crus from the Côte de Blancs, the 2004 Blanc de Blancs Brut with a painting of the Chinese artist Chen Jiang Hong on the label is a stunningly pure, fresh, precise and elegant Champagne of great finesse and complexity. Virtually an Extra Brut, the wine, after 9 years on the lees, opens with a fresh, firmly mineral and chalky scented citrus and whole grain flavor leading to a substantial and intense, yet buoyant, razor sharp and tension-laden palate with great length and complexity. Still young and tight but perfect to drink now, it should age for several years and could gain further complexity and elegance. Disgorgement. April 2013, dosage. 5 g/l. Anticipated maturity. 2015-2022 - Stephan Reinhardt

The 2004 Brut Millesime Blanc de Blancs is made in a fairly rich style for Chardonnay in this vintage, with a bit more body and overall breadth than is found in most 2004 Blanc de Blancs. Pear, baked apple, apricot pit, sage, mint and butter meld together in an open-knit, expressive, poised Champagne to drink now and over the next 5-10 years. Disgorged: April 2013.Antonio Galloni1st November 2015
