About the Family:
Champagne Pierre Paillard settled in Bouzy in the beginning of the 18th century. The family was originally comprised of shepherds and schoolmasters. Antoine Paillard acquired several parcels of vines in Bouzy, becoming a viticulturist and starting the family’s tradition in vine-growing.The current heads of the domaine, brothers Antoine and Quentin Paillard, are the 8th generation of the family and took over in 2018 from their father. Certified organic. Cover crop employed to prevent soil erosion and promote a healthy microbiome. Massal selection in the vineyards. Small crates used for harvest. The mix of south facing sites and lots of chalk close to the surface makes for incredibly complex and exhilarating Pinot Noir based Champagnes. With an average age of 60 years old.
WINEMAKING PHILOSOPHY:
Grapes are harvest and ripe and balanced
They use a horizontal Coquard PAI press
All of the wines are made in the exact same way
Barrel fermentation and aging on the entire range
Ambient yeast are used for fermentation
Malo is allowed to go through
All wines are unfined and unfiltered
All the higher-level wines are aged under cork (Tiré liège)
The brothers Paillard craft some of the most texturally complex wines in all of Champagne. These are vinous beauties that rank among the very best in the region
