"The NV Extra Brut Premiere Cuvée is bright, focused and impeccable from start to finish. Yellow flowers, mint, white pepper and crushed rocks lend energy and tension. There's lovely inner perfume and sweetness to the lemon confit fruit. All the elements are so nicely balanced." -Vinous

"Disgorged in June 2021, the latest release of Paillard's NV Extra-Brut Première Cuvée is showing very well out of the gates, and it's already expressive, bursting with aromas of ripe orchard fruit, freshly baked bread, brioche and citrus oil. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and precise, with a pinpoint mousse, bright acids and chalky grip on the finish, it's approachable now but also built to evolve with grace."

"A whiff of flint precedes fresh lemon notes that pervade the entire wine with vivid freshness. The palate is taut and bright, with a rather salty, iodine savouriness. Lovely depth comes from the great proportion of reserve wines. The finish is brisk, with citrus and umami."

"This is the producer's nonvintage cuvée, dry in the house style and with good balance between freshness and fruitiness. Lightly textured and with taut acidity and crispness at the end, the Champagne is ready to drink."
