Champagne & Caviar: Explorer Set

The Explorer Set is crafted for the curious palate: pairing the striking purity of Bruno Paillard Dosage Zéro with the nuanced richness of Royal Osetra caviar. With no added dosage, this Champagne expresses its terroir with electric clarity and mineral intensity, creating a dynamic contrast with the caviar’s silky, nutty depth. The result is a sophisticated and thought-provoking pairing for enthusiasts who appreciate precision, tension, and layered flavor.

What’s Included

Bruno Paillard Dosage Zéro (750mL)

A beautifully transparent expression of the maison’s style, Dosage Zéro is blended exclusively from first-pressing grapes and crafted without any added sugar... revealing Champagne in its purest form. Expect notes of citrus blossom, green apple, crushed chalk, fresh white peach, and subtle spice. The palate is taut, linear, and saline-driven, with a fine mousse and remarkable length.

Royal Osetra Caviar – 30g Tin (Marshallberg Farm)

Sustainably raised in North Carolina, this Royal Osetra features firm, glossy pearls with nutty depth, clean salinity, and an elegant, lingering finish.
Exclusive Petit Philippe Value: This set offers an exclusive value-add, with the 30g Royal Osetra tin included at a preferred rate (10% below direct-from-farm pricing).

Why We Love This Pairing

Dosage Zéro provides a vibrant, unadorned expression of Champagne: precise, mineral, and intensely refreshing, making it an exceptional match for caviar. The Champagne’s chalky structure and brisk acidity cut through the richness of the Osetra, while its subtle orchard-fruit notes illuminate the caviar’s natural umami. The interplay is bold yet balanced, offering a more sommelier-driven, exploration-focused pairing that appeals to Champagne lovers looking for something distinctive.
