Saturday, October 10
From 3.30-5pm
Guest Speaker: Alice Paillard, Owner of Champagne Bruno Paillard
$280 per person
Bruno Paillard was born in 1953 into an old Champagne family of growers and brokers. He founded his eponymous Champagne house in 1981 and quickly gained international recognition, although it is relatively small in size. Considered to be a négociant, he owns 32 hectares of vines in 15 villages, including Oger, Le Mesnil, Verzenay and Bouzy. Although Paillard is not certified organic, the house follows many organic principles, with some parcels using biodynamics. The wines are aged on the lees for a long time and barrels are used sparingly (in about 20% of the production). Only the juice from the first pressing is used, and most wines complete their malolactic fermentation. Bruno Paillard’s style is elegant, fresh and delicate, with a pinpoint mousse and low dosage. Today his daughter Alice Paillard runs the business.
