Bruno Paillard Cuvee 72 Brut, Champagne, France NV Torgiano Rosso Riserva thoroughly enjoyable redThe Bruno Paillard NV Cuve 72, aged 36 months on lees with an additional 36 months post disgorgement, was disgorged in November 2018 with six grams per liter. Its an excellent Champagne, offering aromas of pastry, lemon, blood orange, spices, saffron and touches of cedar. Medium to full bodied, seamless, rich and slightly creamy, its vinous and lively with a salty and iodized finish. It can be drunk any time over the coming five years. 94 Pts Robert
