Zero dosage, built for balance rather than severity.
After an early trial proved too austere, Bruno and Alice Paillard rebuilt the idea around ripe Meunier, old barrels and a dedicated perpetual reserve begun in 2008. Dosage Zero was released in 2018 after roughly two decades of development.
Half of the blend is reserve wine and about half of the base wine ferments in older oak. With no sugar added at dosage, fruit, texture and long lees ageing must carry the balance.
Taste profile
In the glass
D:Z DOSAGE ZÉRO M.V.
Scale1–5
BG wine structure estimate
Comparative profile within the Bacchus Global wine range.
White fruit and fresh almond open toward chocolate, toast, raspberry, star anise and candied chestnut.
Lively yet generous, with a chiselled texture and a straight, saline finish of exceptional persistence.
Dense, bright straw gold with very fine, persistent bubbles.
Before it reaches the glass
Temperature
Enjoy at 8–10°C; over-chilling hides toast, spice and the texture that keeps the wine balanced.
Timing
Drink the current release now, using the disgorgement date to understand whether fruit or mature notes will lead.
Glassware
Use a tulip-shaped Champagne or quality white-wine glass. Keep the UV-protective wrap on until service.

Read the relevant passageAt the table
Bone-dry acidity and salinity place this Champagne at the table, especially beside oysters and fresh white fish.
The absence of dosage sharpens mineral contrast; Meunier fruit prevents the wine from becoming severe and connects with herbs and lightly sweet shellfish.
Japanese
- Oyster sushi
- Sea-bream sashimi
- Tempura with salt
Why it worksPure acidity and salinity echo the sea and reset raw or fried textures.
Thai
- Yam som-o
- Steamed sea bass with lime and herbs
- Crab with coriander
Why it worksMeunier fruit meets pomelo and herbs, while zero dosage keeps seafood precise.
Western
- Oysters
- White-fish crudo
- Scallop tartare
Why it worksThese clean, saline dishes follow the wine’s mineral line without requiring sweetness.
