LOVE IS IN THE AIR | THE MAYFAIR MUSINGS VALENTINE'S DAY GIFT GUIDE 2022
1.) Bruno Paillard Première Cuvée Rosé M.V. £49.80
Bruno Paillard is an independent, family-owned Champagne house founded in 1981 and based in Reims, in the heart of the Champagne region. Première Cuvée Rosé M.V. is made with Pinot Noir, vinified in two ways - white wine gives a very pale juice and red wine from Pinot Noir is obtained by a longer maceration of the juice on the skins. A touch of Chardonnay joins the line-up to create a truly wonderful Rosé, perfect for Valentine’s Day.
