Champagne Pierre Paillard

La Grande Récolte 2012

The Champagne La Grande Récolte 2012 by Pierre Paillard is a refined expression of the prestigious Grand Cru terroir of Bouzy. Produced exclusively from the 2012 harvest, this Millésime blends 55% Pinot Noir from the Lieu-Dit “Les Maillerettes,” where the vines are over fifty years old, with 45% Chardonnay from the Lieu-Dit “Les Mottelettes,” planted more than sixty years ago.

Vinification and maturation for around eight months in oak barrels give the wine depth and structure while preserving its natural energy. After tirage, the wine ages for over ten years on the lees in the Domaine’s cellars, gaining complexity, harmony, and finesse. The minimal dosage of 1 g/l, in Extra Brut style, allows the authentic character of the terroir to express itself with purity, precision, and crystalline elegance.

On the palate, La Grande Récolte 2012 reveals a bright golden hue, animated by an exceptionally fine and persistent stream of bubbles. The bouquet is broad and refined, offering notes of red fruits, blood orange, and wet chalk, which evolve into nuances of brioche, toasted hazelnut, and candied citrus. On the palate, it stands out for its creamy mousse, balanced and layered texture, and a long, mineral finish marked by great precision and class.

Pierre Paillard

The story of Champagne Pierre Paillard begins in Bouzy, a village in the Montagne de Reims, where the family settled at the beginning of the 18th century. In 1768, ancestor Antoine Paillard acquired the first plots of vines, giving rise to a winemaking tradition passed down through the generations. Since 1946, the wines have been marketed under the family name, while today brothers Antoine and Quentin Paillard, the eighth generation, lead the Domaine with a shared vision, taking up the baton from their father Benoît and carrying forward a legacy spanning more than two centuries.

The beating heart of the Domaine lies in Bouzy itself, one of the seventeen villages classified as Grands Crus, renowned for its south-facing slopes on the Montagne de Reims. The deep chalk and clay subsoils give rise to wines of intense yet elegant character. In the cellar, vinification is parcel-by-parcel and meticulous, carried out in oak barrels with natural fermentations and long ageing on the lees — a faithful expression of an identity that combines respect for tradition with the pursuit of utmost purity.

The Domaine extends over around eleven hectares divided into some thirty parcels, planted mainly with Pinot Noir and complemented by Chardonnay, with vines averaging about thirty years of age and a few historic plots dating back to the 1930s. Beyond Bouzy, the family also tends vines in the Grands Crus of Ambonnay, Verzy and Verzenay, and in the Premiers Crus of Ludes and Taissy. Farming has been certified organic since 2020, with soil-friendly practices and precision viticulture, producing Champagnes that sincerely reflect their terroir and the genuine elegance of a family tradition spanning more than two centuries.
