Les Parcelles is drawn from three lieux-dits in Bouzy, Les Maillerettes, Les Mignottes and Les Motelettes, all south-facing on chalk with a little clay and planted to vines now more than fifty-five years old. It is a near-equal blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, built around a perpetual reserve that is topped up from each successive harvest, and the XXII on the label marks the edition. The wine is fermented and aged in 350 litre barrels, spends 36 months on lees, and is bottled unfined and unfiltered with a dosage of just 2 grams per litre.
Crisp apple, lemon zest and white peach open the nose, followed by toasted brioche, roasted almond and delicate white flowers. The palate is energetic and impeccably balanced, with a fine mousse, bright citrus acidity and the distinctive chalky minerality of the village, finishing dry, savoury and long.
Pierre Paillard has been Bouzy's specialist since 1768, eight generations of the family devoted to a single grand cru village on the Montagne de Reims. Brothers Antoine and Quentin Paillard are in charge today, and the estate's reputation rests on treating Bouzy, long dismissed as red wine country, as a serious source of complete champagne.
