" Disgorged in July 2021 with one gram per liter dosage, Paillard's NV Extra-Brut Bouzy Grand Cru Les Parcelles XVII is based on the 2017 vintage. Offering up aromas of lemon oil, nectarine, freshly baked bread and hints of honeycomb, it's medium to full-bodied, deep and vinous, with a layered core of fruit, racy acids and a saline, bone-dry finish. Complemented by an elegant pinpoint mousse, this is a classy, impeccably balanced wine that transcends the challenging vintage."
