No doubt Champagne’s Maison Bruno Paillard, despite its youth (it was founded in 1981), has long conquered the most refined and demanding hearts and palates. Before starting to produce Champagne Bruno worked as mediator, learning the difficult work of selecting the best grapes, and their correct economic evaluation, skills that are still useful to him today, when he has to negotiate the purchase grapes price, with the historic holders of his winery, from vineyards located in 30 different villages.

Pinot Meunier
Brut Réserve, Billecart-Salmon

Among the great wineries, famous for the production of Champagne wines, Billecart-Salmon Maison occupies, without a doubt, a remarkable position. On the other hand, it is not by chance that two thousandths (1959 and 1961) place themselves in the first two places of the ranking emerged from the famous blind tasting held in Stockholm in 1999 (the first, 1959, even called the “Champagne of the millennium”).

Brut Le Nombre d’Or “Campaniae Veteres Vites” 2014, Champagne L. Aubry Fils

Brut Premier, Louis Roederer

Writing about a Maison such important as Louis Roederer, for the Champagne area, is an exercise not without difficulties, since it is one of the most famous in the absolute sense and the risk of a fruitless mythologizing is always around the corner. It all begins in 1776 when Mr Dubois with his sons establishes the homonimous winery Dubois Père & Fils, in which arrives from Alsace, as a collaborator, Nicolas Schreider, who later decides to take over the property.

Premier Cru Brut Tradition, Gonet-Médeville

The fact that the Maison Gonet-Médeville has just turned 20 years of age should not mislead us from the actual importance of this winery in Bisseuil, on the south-eastern side of the Montagne de Reims, in Champagne. The owner couple, Xavier Gonet and his wife Julie Médeville, are in fact the respective descendants of a famous family of Champagne winemakers (the Gonets) and a family with several properties in Bordeaux, including Château Gillette and Château Les justices (the Médeville).
