Tasting Notes
Each style of Barons de Rothschild champagne has the exceptional characteristics of a great champagne. Barons de Rothschild Brut is a rich, complex and ethereal wine. It is made by blending wines aged at least 3 years, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier from the Champagne region’s best terroirs.
Appearance: The wine’s brilliance and clarity show pale golden highlights, combined with very fine bubbles that carry an abundant, persistent foam.
Aroma: This exceptionally fine cuvée exudes aromas of pear and nuts (almonds, fresh hazelnuts) that marry with hints of white flowers and faint toasty notes.
Palate: A strong, assertive opening that leads into a well-rounded wine that is powerful yet contained; the sign of long aging in traditional cellars.

The Chardonnay of this champagne takes us into the world of Barons de Rothschild champagnes, marked by an unforgettable taste. This cuvée is the result of a complex assemblage, or blend, of 60% Chardonnay, primarily Grands Crus from the Côte des Blancs, 40% Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, mainly from Verzenay, Ay, Mareuilsur-Ay and Bouzy. This blend includes 40% reserve wines, a mark of exceptional quality and consistency over time.
