Champagne Bruno Paillard

Bruno Paillard, a “small but prestigious young Champagne house,” was founded in 1981. The first Bruno Paillard Champagnes were produced in a rented cellar using grapes purchased from carefully selected winegrowers.

The vineyard has grown gradually and now spans 32 hectares (divided into nearly 70 plots: Oger, Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, and Vertus for Chardonnay [36% of the total]; Bouzy, Verzenay, and Les Riceys for Pinot Noir [35%]; Hautvillers, Cumières, Reuil, Damery, Festigny for Pinot Meunier (29%), including 12 in Grand Cru villages. It supplies approximately half of Maison Bruno Paillard’s needs. This supply complements grape purchases made from independent winemakers—loyal partners—in more than 30 villages.

The vineyard manager, Mathieu Pingret, practices sustainable viticulture in accordance with Bruno Paillard’s quality standards. The Bruno Paillard style is a blend of elegance and complexity: this style is characterized by a light, velvety effervescence, remarkable purity, genuine freshness, and a silky vinosity.

Today, Bruno Paillard produces 400,000 to 500,000 bottles per year, more than 75% of which are exported to some 30 countries—primarily in Europe, Asia, and North America.
