Bruno Paillard NPU 2008 (75cl)
N.P.U. – « Nec Plus Ultra » was born from the idea to create the greatest possible Champagne wine, whatever the constraints. For this, decisions were made at the highest level for each stage of its development. From this crazy dream was created a champagne at the height of winemaking…
N.P.U. – The Ultimate.
Only in truly great vintages….
First, an exceptional vintage is needed: after improving our “savoir faire” during the 80’s, the first ever N.P.U – Nec Plus Ultra, a 1990 vintage, was released in 2002. Then came N.P.U. 1995 and the iconic N.P.U. 1996… After these three tremendous, although quite different vintages, comes N.P.U. 1999, a wine with a seemingly more classical profile… In 1999, the summer drought significantly stressed the vine until several short but frequent rains arrived early September, which progressively brought the fruits to maturity. The 1999 harvest offered perfectly healthy grapes, allying aromatic richness with a very interesting ageing potential.
Exclusively “Grands Crus” grapes…
Out of the 320 villages in the Champagne Appellation, only 17 are rated “Grands Crus”: grapes from four of these were selected to create
N.P.U – Nec Plus Ultra 1999: Bouzy, Verzenay, Oger, Le Mesnil sur Oger. Not just born in a great vintage, the grapes also originate from the most noble crus.
