BRUNO PAILLARD Assemblage Millesime 2015

Deep golden colour.

Wild strawberries & blackcurrants. Notes of blood orange and pink grapefruit emerge with intensity. On aeration, accents of licorice and Sichuan pepper.

The attack is lively as fruity and salty as the smell. The finish is long and flies towards cocoa powder and dried fruit.

Slightly spicy and slow-cooked dishes; lamb shoulder confit with honey and sweet spices, or red mullet fillets with saffron cream. Dessert, red fruit tart, vanilla crème brûlée, dark chocolate beggars. Japanese cuisine: white-fish and shellfish sushi, sashimi, tempura with salt and grilled prawns. Thai cuisine: grilled seafood, a mild pomelo-prawn salad, tod mun goong and crisp fried chicken.
