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.

As the newest vintage in this series, this 8th edition is precise, fresh and powerful. This 2008 radiates deep golden colour with fine bubbles rising in the glass. The wine showcases fresh redcurrants, raspberries and wild strawberries mixed with stone fruits and candied orange peel. With time, it unfolds complex aromas of fresh ginger, and notes of cocoa powder and quince paste. This champagne offers a balanced acidity and silky texture with an extensive finish.
