Independent family Champagne house Bruno Paillard, known for exclusively producing extra brut cuvées, has broken with tradition to launch a zero dosage style. Below, Premium subscribers can read an interview with Paillard about the new wine, as well as a full tasting note.
The new Bruno Paillard Dosage : Zero – or D:Z for short – is the house’s second attempt at a sugar-free style; its first was made 35 years ago, shortly after Bruno Paillard created the house in 1981.
