Barons de Rothschild Brut NV (1x150cl)
The Barons de Rothschild Brut NV represents a unique collaboration between the three branches of the esteemed Rothschild family, uniting their collective pursuit of excellence in the heart of Champagne. This non-vintage cuvée is meticulously crafted from a blend predominantly featuring Chardonnay from the Côte des Blancs, complemented by Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier sourced from Grand Cru and Premier Cru vineyards across the region.
A significant proportion of reserve wines, aged for extended periods, contributes to the blend's complexity and consistency. Following secondary fermentation, the wine undergoes a minimum of three years of maturation on its lees in the house's cellars, imparting depth and a refined autolytic character. The judiciously low dosage ensures the purity of the fruit and the expression of its terroir are preserved. Presented in a 150cl magnum, this format is renowned for its optimal ageing potential and impressive presence.

The bouquet is elegantly expressive, revealing notes of fresh citrus, white blossom, and subtle hints of brioche and toasted almond, indicative of its extended lees ageing. On the palate, it is remarkably fresh and vibrant, with a precise acidity that frames a creamy texture. Flavours of lemon zest, green apple, and a delicate minerality lead to a long, harmonious finish, showcasing both power and finesse.
