Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2012 Extra-Brut Assemblage Millésimé is excellent, offering up aromas of sweet orchard fruit, honeycomb, buttered toast, lemon pith and white flowers. Medium to full-bodied, seamless and enveloping, it's elegantly muscular and concentrated, with racy acids and a long, saline finish. It was disgorged in March 2020.

Description
Bruno Paillard Extra Brut Assemblage Millésime is a rarity in the world of sparkling wines that reflects the expertise and dedication of the Maison Bruno Paillard. A champagne resulting from an exquisite blend of 10 different Crus, composed of 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Chardonnay. Produced exclusively after particularly outstanding vintages, it is an Extra Brut Champagne, pure, mineral and perfect for ageing.
A vintage marked by intensity. It began with a mild winter which, in February, turned abruptly cold, with temperatures dropping into the low 20s. As the year progressed, the vines faced weather challenges, from frost to rain and hail storms. However, in August, sunshine and warmth settled in, allowing the grapes to ripen harmoniously. Despite the drought that intensified in August, the harvest took place serenely, highlighting the exceptional quality of the grapes, especially Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
Winemaking
Assemblage Extra Brut is made exclusively from the first press, the purest, from 8 great terroirs of Pinot Noir (60%) and Chardonnay (40%). Of this total, 20% is vinified in small old oak barrels. After eight years of cellar ageing, including a minimum of 12 months resting after disgorgement, this champagne develops a sensation of gourmandise and concentration, complemented by a persistent saline freshness. Its dosage is Extra-Brut, with a content of 4.5g/L, which gives it a dry and elegant character.
A showcase of the art of blending, reflecting the Maison's passion and commitment to producing champagnes of the highest quality. Its taste, history and craftsmanship make it an exceptional choice for those looking to enjoy the best that the Champagne region has to offer.
