Bruno Paillard`s `Nec Plus Ultra`, from the Latin `there is nothing beyond`, was born from a desire to create the greatest possible Champagne from exceptional vintages and from grapes sourced exclusively from grand cru vineyards. The 1999 harvest offered perfectly healthy grapes, combining aromatic richness with good ageing potential.

Vinous
- Vivid yellow-gold. Potent, smoke-accented aromas of pit fruits, melon and honey, with a sexy floral overtone and building minerality. Lively, sappy and seamless, with intense nectarine and candied ginger flavors and notes of buttery brioche and anise. Shows a compelling blend of richness and vivacity, with no rough edges. A refreshingly bitter note of citrus pith adds lift and cut to the smoky, strikingly long finish, which leaves notes of honeysuckle and poached pear behind. a 50/50 blend of chardonnay and pinot noir that was aged for 12 years on its lees and disgorged in January, 2012.
