Champagne Pierre Paillard 'Les Parcelles XIX'
From the historic village of Bouzy—home to powerful, Pinot-driven Champagnes—comes this elegant, terroir-transparent bottling from the Paillard brothers. Les Parcelles is a snapshot of Bouzy’s chalky hillside vineyards, blending Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from the 2019 vintage (hence the “XIX”), with reserve wines adding extra depth and complexity.
It opens with notes of red apple skin, lemon curd, and toasted almond, backed by a fine bead and a mineral spine that keeps everything lifted. There’s richness, yes—but it’s finely etched, balanced by tension and bright citrus energy. A serious Champagne for the price, and a benchmark for the grower category.
