Champagne Pierre Paillard Rare Cellar Releases in NYC
A La Fête du Champagne educational tasting seminar in New York City featuring rare Champagne Pierre Paillard wines from Bouzy.
About the event
A Bouzy-focused tasting seminar
Champagne Pierre Paillard: Rare Cellar Releases from Bouzy is an educational tasting seminar within La Fête du Champagne 2026. The session centers on Champagne Pierre Paillard in Bouzy, with the program framed around rare cellar releases rather than a broad Champagne survey. The format is a tasting seminar or masterclass, and the producer focus is Bouzy-based Champagne Pierre Paillard.
Featured wines
The program includes two La Fête du Champagne exclusives. One is La Goutte d’Or, described as a parcel selection of 100% Chardonnay. The other is a special bottling from the family’s historic walled vineyard in Bouzy. Each exclusive is described as a unique cuvée made from a single barrel, with only a few hundred bottles produced.
The lineup also includes two examples from the 2021 vintage. Those wines are presented in connection with Antoine Paillard’s and Quentin Paillard’s work across both south-facing and north-facing terroirs in the Montagne de Reims, giving the seminar a focused comparison within the same producer’s range.
