The cellar

The history of the maison began in 1768, but only from 1946 did the maison market the champagne that bears its name. Today, under the command of the eighth generation, the Paillard maison produces Grand Cru wines. One of the peculiarities of the Pierre Paillard company is to still cultivate Pinot Fin: a variety from Burgundy characterized by a very low yield that allows a complete ripening of the grapes. Since 2013 the maison begins to vinify the different plots separately in order to enhance their individuality. Champagne characterized by great complexity and aromatic breadth, depth and persistence.
