Paillard Brothers @Pierre_Paillard: @SandyWasserman #sommchat I like to drink wines that showcase where they are from, that have a personality
KeeperCollection @keepercoll: @Pierre_Paillard Quentin, How did you decide to go into your family #Champagne biz and how old were you? #SommChat
Paillard Brothers @Pierre_Paillard: @keepercoll #Sommchat I decided to come back to the winery after working as a sommelier in #nyc, back in 2010

Paillard Brothers @Pierre_Paillard: @keepercoll #Sommchat we craft 5 Champagnes and 2 Coteaux Champenois (white and red) from Bouzy only...
Paillard Brothers @Pierre_Paillard: @keepercoll #Sommchat ... a rare thing in Champagne where the blending of villages and grapes is the norm.
Adam Plotkin @AdamPlotkin: @Pierre_Paillard @keepercoll So, all of your wines are single vineyard? #SommChat
KeeperCollection @keepercoll: Q fr #SommChat #Somm @Pierre_Paillard Quentin, what makes Rose #Champagnes typically more expensive ? is it method of making or aging or ???
Paillard Brothers @Pierre_Paillard: @keepercoll #Sommchat as a grower, we supply Pinot Noir used for our Rosé from a specific plot, here a pinot fin from #bourgogne...
Paillard Brothers @Pierre_Paillard: @keepercoll ...making qualitative champagne rosé require top quality juice from vine that yields low & grown on top terroir #bouzy #ambonnay
KeeperCollection @keepercoll: @Pierre_Paillard Quentin when did the single vineyard designation #Champagnes begin and why? How many do you make? #Sommchat
Paillard Brothers @Pierre_Paillard: @keepercoll #sommchat we craft a Blanc de Noirs every year since 2007. Sourced from a plot of old vine Pinot Noir "Les Maillerettes"...
Paillard Brothers @Pierre_Paillard: @keepercoll #sommchat Les Maillerettes is the mother plot for most our family’s vineyard which has been propagated, via sélection massale
KeeperCollection @keepercoll: Q fr #SommChat #Somm what are your major #US markets and where would you like to go into? who is your distributor for @Pierre_Paillard
Paillard Brothers @Pierre_Paillard: @keepercoll #sommchat I'd say #CA is our first market, followed by #ny #Chicago #DC @RobertHoudeWine @DNSWines @PotomacWine
Charles Comm PR @CharlesComm: Q @Pierre_Paillard What is your most popular #champagne for U.S consumers? #SommChat @keepercoll

Paillard Brothers @Pierre_Paillard: @CharlesComm @keepercoll #Sommchat it was previously labelled "Brut Grand Cru, new label indicate the base wine on the front it's extra-brut
KeeperCollection @keepercoll: Q fr shy #SommChat peep: @Pierre_Paillard which of UR #Champagnes do U prefer > as Aperitif and which ones > with food?
Paillard Brothers @Pierre_Paillard: @keepercoll #sommechat Les Parcelles and Terres Rose for aperitif, singles vineyards #maillerettes #mottelettes for food.

KeeperCollection @keepercoll: @Pierre_Paillard Quentin, How is the #Champagne industry different than the #wine industry? #SommChat
Paillard Brothers @Pierre_Paillard: @keepercoll #sommchat #champagne #aoc is 200km long from north to south and negotiant blend villages from all over...
Paillard Brothers @Pierre_Paillard: @keepercoll #Sommchat you would not imagine people from #cornas blending with #chateauneufdupape..
Paillard Brothers @Pierre_Paillard: @keepercoll #Sommchat grower are going against this statement by making wines of terroir expressing singles villages or vineyards
KeeperCollection @keepercoll: Q fr #SommChat #Somm @Pierre_Paillard What would you pair with your Coteaux Champenois Bouzy Rouge? #SommChat
Paillard Brothers @Pierre_Paillard: @keepercoll #sommchat #BouzyRouge can be served with roasted meats, farm poultry and water game, at a temperature of 14-15°C.
KeeperCollection @keepercoll: @Pierre_Paillard Tell us about your #Champagne vinification process? #SommChat
Paillard Brothers @Pierre_Paillard: @keepercoll #sommchat Although the base wines have historically been fermented in stainless steel...
Paillard Brothers @Pierre_Paillard: @keepercoll #Sommchat we are now vinifying some of the wines with
terracotta vessels, oak barrels and a concrete egg
Stephanie Miskew CSW @StephanieMiskew: @Pierre_Paillard @keepercoll What quality do you feel the concrete egg brings to the wine? #Sommchat #Champagne #WineWednesday
Paillard Brothers @Pierre_Paillard: @StephanieMiskew @keepercoll #Sommchat It gives the wines more texture and depth.
Adam Plotkin @AdamPlotkin: @StephanieMiskew Gives it a nice cement-like mouthfeel! ;-)
Stephanie Miskew CSW @StephanieMiskew: @AdamPlotkin #Lol I just LOVE that in a Champagne!
KeeperCollection @keepercoll: welcome back @StephanieMiskew to #SommChat qreat question have you tried @Pierre_Paillard #Champagne
KeeperCollection @keepercoll: Q fr #SommChat #Somm how was @Pierre_Paillard affected by recent vintage weather issues - did it reduce production and if so by how much?
Paillard Brothers @Pierre_Paillard: @keepercoll #Sommchat we lost about 50% of our production in 2016, we sprayed for the first time since 2011 or we would have lost a lot more
KeeperCollection @keepercoll: Q fr #SommChat #Somm Can you tell us abt 2016 vintage for @Pierre_Paillard ?
KeeperCollection @keepercoll: Q fr #SommChat #Somm @Pierre_Paillard How do you ensure high #quality in your #Champagne production?
Paillard Brothers @Pierre_Paillard: @keepercoll #Sommchat We believe than great wine starts in the vineyard. We are working actively to
protect & invigorate our soil by using..
Paillard Brothers @Pierre_Paillard: @keepercoll #Sommchat our own organic compost or by spraying with diverse teas of natural origins. our goal is to conserve the....
Paillard Brothers @Pierre_Paillard: @keepercoll #Sommchat micro-organisms in the soil along with beneficial insects. In that sense we never use herbicide or insecticide.
Paillard Brothers @Pierre_Paillard: @keepercoll #Sommchat we only use selection massales, vinify each plot separately and keep wines on lees for at least 4 years.
KeeperCollection @keepercoll: Q fr #SommChat #Somm what did you spray with
to save crop in 2016 @Pierre_Paillard ?
Paillard Brothers @Pierre_Paillard: @keepercoll #Sommchat we used one time a non toxic molecules that are not considered organic because synthetic. Systemic vs contact (copper)
Charles Comm PR @CharlesComm: Q @Pierre_Paillard What are ways you keep your #winery sustainable? #SommChat @keepercoll
Paillard Brothers @Pierre_Paillard: @CharlesComm @keepercoll #Sommchat we never use herbicide or insecticide, no use of clones, natural cold stabilization for the wines...
