The property

Uncompromising selection of terroirs, exclusive use of first presses, blends made from a vast collection of reserve wines, aging period twice as long as that required by the appellation's specifications, the range of Bruno Paillard champagnes reflects this constant quest for excellence and the desire to create a "very personal style".
