Champagne Pierre Paillard

Les Maillerettes 2020

The Champagne Les Maillerettes by Pierre Paillard is a Blanc de Noirs Grand Cru born from the homonymous lieu-dit, a historic parcel located in the village of Bouzy, on the South-facing slope of the Montagne de Reims. Here the Paillard brothers work old vines planted in 1970 from massal selection to deliver the voice of a terroir that has built the reputation of Pinot Noir in Champagne, where the thin clay covering on the chalk transforms the power of the grape into chiselled finesse and sublimates its mineral depth.

This edition, Vintage 2020, involves vinification and fermentation entirely in barrique, with liège tirage for the prise de mousse and particular attention to the purity of the fruit. After tirage follows an ageing on the lees of about 3 years, before dégorgement. The final dosage of 3 g/l, in Extra Brut style, accompanies with measure a wine that is already naturally harmonious, letting the reference lieu-dit emerge with transparency.

On tasting, Les Maillerettes 2020 appears chiselled and intense, with a very fine perlage and a juicy mouth, where the depth of Pinot Noir dialogues with a chalky tension of great clarity. On the palate emerges a wide and well-drawn structure, crossed by notes of roasted apricot, citrus, small red fruits and a trail of fine pastry, sustained by a sharp acidity that brings drive and energy. The finish is long, vibrant and saline, with a flavoursome persistence that confirms the rare class of the Grand Cru.

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.
