BRUNO PAILLARD | WHEN CHAMPAGNE BECOMES A FORM OF FREE EXPRESSION

In Reims – the heart of Champagne – there was a man who chose to start from scratch, guided by a single dream: to craft Champagnes that truly reflect the essence of terroir, time, and the soul of the winemaker.

That man is Bruno Paillard – who walked away from the world of commerce to become an artisan, founding an independent Maison that bears his name. Refusing to follow trends or cater to the masses, he set out to create Champagnes with purpose: always evolving, never repeating.

Today, his daughter Alice Paillard continues the story in her own way – with a touch of femininity and precision – while staying true to the founding philosophy of purity & complexity.

Now arriving at Red Apron: three remarkable cuvées that embody the Bruno Paillard spirit – Champagne with character, depth, and distinction.

N.P.U. “NEC PLUS ULTRA” 2009

N.P.U. is short for "Nec Plus Ultra", a Latin phrase meaning "nothing further beyond" or "the ultimate". It is only produced in the most exceptional vintages. The 2009 vintage reveals a stunningly complex bouquet of citrus, ripe fruit, tart pastry, green tea, and salted butter. Rich and structured on the palate, this Champagne is crafted for refined gastronomy.

95–97 points – ranked among the finest by international critics.

ASSEMBLAGE 2015

A masterful blend of the three classic Champagne grapes, with Pinot Noir in the lead. Assemblage 2015 captures the spirit of modern Champagne: elegant, layered, and quietly expressive. Notes of spice, citrus peel, chalky minerality, and a tight, refined structure create a wine of true depth.

95 points – praised for its persistence and impeccable balance.

ROSÉ PREMIÈRE CUVÉE

With a soft peach hue, this Rosé recalls spring afternoons – vibrant, graceful, and full of life. The nose reveals ripe peach, candied fruit, subtle spice, and signs of fine ageing. Airy yet sensual on the palate, this is a Rosé of both charm and complexity.

95 points – one of the most refined and elegant Rosé Champagnes available today.

Let these exceptional cuvées from Bruno Paillard elevate your next celebration. Now available at Red Apron – exclusively for those who seek more than just Champagne.
