Bruno Paillard

About

Maison Bruno Paillard is an independent, family-owned Champagne House, based in Reims. Its exceptional vineyards are located in the heart of the Champagne region. The wines have a highly personal style, which can be defined as vibrant, energetic and precise. Originally a Champagne broker, Bruno Paillard started his own Maison (the first new Champagne House in more than a century) back in 1981. In 1994, Bruno Paillard purchased his first vineyard: three hectares in Oger, a beautiful Grand Cru of the Côte des Blancs. Today, Maison Bruno Paillard has 32.5 hectares of vineyards covering 15 crus of Champagne, across more than 100 individual plots, all with their own specific terroir. These provide more than 60% of the grapes for the Maison. 12 hectares of these vineyards are Grand Cru, an unusually high percentage given that across the region, the Grand Crus represent just 17 of the 320 villages. Bruno runs the Maison with his daughter, Alice.
