2020 Pierre Paillard 'Les Mottelettes' Blanc de Blancs Bouzy Grand Cru Extra Brut

"Antoine and Quentin Paillard farm Les Mottelettes, a single lieu-dit at the base of Bouzy's south-facing Grand Cru slope, under certified organic viticulture. Chalk-and-clay soils anchor Chardonnay vines planted in 1961, giving the fruit a density unusual for Champagne's Marne Valley. The 2020 opens with lemon curd, white peach, and brioche, and finishes with chalk-dusted minerality and a long, mouth-coating richness." - Winemaker Notes
