    1996 Bruno Paillard "Nec Plus Ultra" Brut (Champagne, FR)

    1996 Bruno Paillard "Nec Plus Ultra" Brut (Champagne, FR)

    The N.P.U. Cuvée, "Nec Plus Ultra," was created from the desire to produce the ultimate champagne, regardless of costs and constraints. Every step of its development reflects the most stringent choices in pursuit of excellence. 

    The N.P.U. 1996 results from a meticulous grape selection from four Grand Cru villages (Oger, Le Mesnil sur Oger, Verzenay, and Bouzy). This ambitious dream gave rise to a Champagne that embodies the pinnacle of vinification, marking a remarkable achievement in pursuing absolute quality.
