Established in 1981 by Bruno Paillard at the age of 27, the Champagne house is known to be the youngest Grandes Maisons. With Bruno's experience working in his father’s grape broking company, he is knowledgeable to select the right sort of grapes at suitable prices.  The Champagne house owns around 34.4 hectares of vineyards, and around 12 hectares are recognised as Grand Cru, producing nice Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier grapes.

 The first vintage of his masterpiece - Nec Plus Ultra, was produced in 1990. Only produced with exceptional vintages, it was then released again in 1995, 1996, 1999, 2002, 2003 and once more in 2008. The vintage 2008 is released by Bruno Paillard’s daughter Alice, who now manages the Champagne house. The N.P.U 2008 is well-blend with 50% of Grand Cru Chardonnay from Oger, Kes Mesnil-sur-Oger, Chouilly and Cramant, and 50% of Grand Cru Pinot Noir from Verzenay, Mailly and Bouzy. Only first pressings are used, the first fermentation is vinified and aged in 225-litre barriques for 10 months. After the second fermentation is done, the wines then matured in the lees for 10 years, with a low dosage of only 3g/L in Extra Brut. Alice described the N.P.U 2008 to be “an energetic and vibrant character. It is a very slow wine, and its ambition is to develop complexity while always keeping its freshness. It will not lose its energy.”

97pts Falstaff

A most serene nose of vanilla flan with hints of smoke and fresh mushroom duxelles comes with a salty edge. The palate is creamy yet absolutely taut. This is incisive and presents a profound impression of chalk that slowly spreads across the palate. Incredible depth, laser precision and absolute definition unite into deliciousness. A landmark you can drink until 2050.
