Why go
Pierre Paillard offers a Tasting Table vineyard-and-cellar visit or a longer Chef's Table meal in Bouzy. Book ahead and choose whether the focus is four wines or wine with lunch.
About Pierre Paillard
Pierre Paillard is a Bouzy visit to choose by format. Its Tasting Table takes guests through the vineyard and 19th-century chalk cellars before a guided tasting of four cuvées. The longer Chef's Table adds a four-course meal.
Wine first, or wine with lunch
Book the tasting when the main goal is to compare wines from Bouzy and other Montagne de Reims villages. Choose Chef's Table when the meal is part of the occasion. The producer describes a Méhari vineyard drive in its visit material; confirm whether it is part of the exact session you reserve.
Know the wines
Antoine and Quentin Paillard lead the eighth-generation estate. Les Parcelles is a Bouzy blend; Les Mottelettes comes from a Chardonnay parcel planted in 1961. A published 2020-base Les Parcelles recipe should not be treated as the blend for every release. Confirm the current wines, timing and address when booking.

The take
The Take
The Vibe
Pierre Paillard is a family Champagne house rooted in Bouzy, led by brothers Antoine and Quentin Paillard. Its wines explore Bouzy’s Pinot Noir and chalk soils alongside fruit from other Montagne de Reims villages. The estate invites booked guests through its vineyards, winery and nineteenth-century chalk cellars for a closer view of that work.
Best For
A strong choice for visitors who want to connect a grower’s bottles with Bouzy’s Grand Cru vineyards. Pierre Paillard offers a guided estate and cellar visit with a tasting, plus a longer format that adds a paired meal at the chef’s table. Both are small-group, reservation-based experiences, so choose the format before traveling.
Tasting Tips
Begin with Les Parcelles to taste the house’s Bouzy blend, then look for a vineyard-designated wine such as Les Maillerettes if available. For a visit, the tasting-table experience pairs the estate and chalk-cellar tour with several cuvées; the chef’s-table option adds lunch. Ask the house which wines are included when booking, since the lineup may change.
