Champagne Bruno Paillard 1999 Blanc de Blancs 1.5L

Tasted from magnum in October 2018, Bruno Paillard's 1999 Blanc de Blancs Brut offers a clear, fresh and nutty bouquet with hazelnut, walnut, beurre blanc, brioche and matured fruit aromas of peach and white seed fruits. Beautifully complex and fresh, round and almost sweetish on the refined and elegant palate, this is a pure and charming vintage that drinks perfectly today as an aperitif or with scallops.
