Vintage Bruno Paillard N.P.U “Nec Plus Ultra” 1999

£498.00

Bruno Paillard N.P.U. – “NEC PLUS ULTRA” is an exceptional champagne only made in years considered great and as a literal translation from latin means “there is nothing better”, it is the flagship of the house, showing off the best of what they can produce. Fruit for this wine only comes from the most sought-after Grands Crus in Champagne, namely Le Mesnil, Bouzy, Verzenay. This wine is fermented in small oak barrels for the first 10 months, aged on lees for 10 years and followed by 2 years of bottle ageing after disgorgement. Like all other Bruno’s champagne, it is an “Extra-Brut” style with a very low dosage, allowing for the pure expression of the region’s terroir.

As the 4th edition in this series, Bruno Paillard describe the 1999 vintage as “The Great Classic” It is particularly rich and aromatic with multi-layered nose of ripe and dried fruit, dried flowers, ginger, candied lemon, orange peel, roasted walnuts, bruised pears and it goes on and on… With a concentrated palatte and round texture, this Champagne is firmly structured and lifted with remarkably mineral in the aftertaste. A great example of harmonious Champagne with persistency.

Bruno Paillard N.P.U. series is only produced in limited quantities in the best years. Indulge yourself in this fine and rare wine for your next special occasion whether now or in years, this Champagne is ready to drink and will also continue to age.
