2004 Pierre Paillard Brut Grand Cru Champagne Blend

9.6

The second cuve of this vintage from P Paillard I've had. The first spent 7 yrs on lees before disgorgement, was dry, biscuity and creamy-textured. This one was disgorged after 10 yrs on lees - saline/seashells/lees, dry, mouthwatering, lingering. Wow, incredible difference and yet another reason to love Champagne.

10 year lees contact is what really makes this one stand out. Sharp with a classic custard palate filled with notes of overripe apple and toast.

Very pretty wine showing little of its age with precise citrus and toasted sourdough.
