Champagne Pierre Paillard: Rare Cellar Releases from Bouzy
Explore a rare lineup of wines from Champagne Pierre Paillard, highlighted by two exclusives to La Fête du Champagne: La Goutte d’Or , a parcel selection of 100% Chardonnay, and a special bottling from the family’s historic walled vineyard in Bouzy. Each is a unique cuvée of only a few hundred bottles produced from a single barrel. These wines will be accompanied by two examples of the stellar 2021 vintage highlighting Antoine’s and Quentin’s considerable efforts in crafting remarkable wines from both south-facing and north-facing terroirs in the Montagne de Reims.
