Paillard’s inaugural 2008 N.P.U. Nec Plus Ultra Rosé is a blend of equal parts Chardonnay and Pinot Noir disgorged in February 2022 with three grams per liter dosage. It reveals a dense, complex bouquet with aromas of red berries, blood orange, orchard fruits, pepper, verbena and spring flowers. Medium to full-bodied, broad and vinous, it’s phenolic with a beautifully fine-boned profile and an ethereal, long finish. This is a structured Champagne that will merit cellaring, but it already exudes freshness and clarity, leading to a finish with a light note of gastronomic bitterness. It should go well with delicate fare.

Varietal

Champagne Blend

The sparkling wines of Champagne have been revered by wine drinkers for hundreds of years, and even today they maintain their reputation for excellence of flavor and character, and are consistently associated with quality, decadence, and a cause for celebration. Their unique characteristics are partly due to the careful blending of a small number of selected grape varietals, most commonly Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. These grapes, blended in fairly equal quantities, give the wines of Champagne their wonderful flavors and aromas, with the Pinot Noir offering length and backbone, and the Chardonnay varietal giving its acidity and dry, biscuity nature. It isn't unusual to sometimes see Champagne labeled as 'blanc de blanc', meaning it is made using only Chardonnay varietal grapes, or 'blanc de noir', which is made solely with Pinot Noir.

Region

Champagne

The beautiful rolling hillsides of the Champagne region of France have, for hundreds of years, been producing many of the world's most famous wines. The sparkling white wines to come out of Champagne's prestigious wineries have conquered the world, and are drank in celebration across the globe. The vast majority of the region is under vine, and grows predominantly Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grape varietals, which are usually blended together by master wine-makers in order to make their recognizable and widely loved produce. The north-easterly region of Champagne has a relatively cool climate, and quite a lot of rainfall, making it far from ideal for ripening grapes. However, the presence of heavily forested areas in the region helps maintain a balanced temperature, and the generations of expertise the wineries hold clearly produces excellent results in spite of the climatic problems.

Decanter

A small red wine addition creates this cuvée, which is an equal split between grand cru Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, fermented entirely in small oak barrels and aged on the lees for over 10 years. The long lees ageing and barrel work imbues highly expressive richness of oyster cream, cocoa and allspice, while blackberry and charred grapefruit notes are still present, a reminder of youthfulness. The Pinot Noir has softened into dried hibiscus and red plum, autumnal and complex, but still adds a little flesh to the highly concentrated, firm 2008 palate. Released at a peak of evolution, this will be at its most vibrant within three years of disgorgement.

Winery Notes

Only 1,304 bottles were made, and they spent 12 years on lees before being disgorged in February 2022, with a dosage of 3g/l.
