Bruno Paillard N.P.U. Nec Plus Ultra Espumante

Descrição

N.P.U. _ Nec Plus Ultra will only be made in years which we consider to be great. After a wet and mild winter without any lasting cold spell, the spring began with some very localized frosts. The cooler weather returned in June, which slowed down the flowering. During the main part of the vegetative period, low sunshine levels further contributed to the cool season. The temperature, from spring to autumn, was nevertheless slightly higher than the average of the previous 30 years. The harvest began on September 15th with mild, dry and breezy weather during the day and cool nights; it lasted for three weeks. This allowed the grapes to gradually ripened while preserving a good acidity. 2008 is thus recognised as a stellar Champagne vintage for those who have the patience to wait.
