The Bruno Paillard maison is a Négotiant Manipulant, that is to say an independent producer that makes Champagne only with grapes from its own vineyards which amount to 34.3 hectares cultivated mainly with Chardonnay and to a lesser extent Pinot noir, Pinot meunier, all classified as Grand and Premier Cru. It was founded only in 1981 by Bruno Paillard, who established himself in a few years as a very high profile brand, loved by collectors and journalists.
Today the daughter is carrying on the business, with the same production style as her father, based on the subtlety and freshness of Chardonnay. The vineyards are managed organically even if the wines are not certified organic according to European legislation, but only have the French HVE certification. In the cellar the wines undergo malolactic fermentation and are aged perpetually using the Solera method. All Bruno Paillard’s Champagne have a part of wines fermented in oak and the dosage is always low. Bruno Paillard produces an average of 400,000 bottles a year.
