Bruno Paillard Vintage Assemblage 2008 is a remarkable expression of Champagne, crafted from a blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier sourced from exceptional vineyards. The 2008 vintage benefitted from a warm growing season, allowing for extended grape ripening while preserving acidity. This Champagne spent over eight years maturing on its lees, contributing to its nuanced complexity. In the glass, it presents a pale gold hue with persistent, delicate bubbles. Aromas of ripe citrus, red berries and subtle spices emerge, while the palate reflects a structured yet elegant profile, leading to a mineral finish.

From a fantastic vintage, the 2008 Assemblage Extra Brut (disgorged in November 2015) has a bright citrus color and shows a clear, super pure and deep bouquet with discreet, bright fruit but predominantly chalky-mineral aromas. The assemblage of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir (42% each) plus Pinot Meunier (16%) is a clear, straight, lean and mineral, bone dry, tight and concentrated Champagne with a lot of energy, precision and whole wheat flavors. The finish is still restrained but very dense, deep and complex in its purely mineral expression. A great wine that can be stored for decades. It was aged on the lees for seven years. - Stephan Reinhardt
