The addition of estate-produced Bouzy Rouge gives the Champagne its attractive rosé color while contributing greater richness, structure and red-fruit complexity. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the glass, the wine displays a luminous salmon-pink color and a fine, persistent mousse. The bouquet is expressive and inviting, with aromas of raspberry, wild strawberry and red cherry accompanied by notes of dried apricot, citrus peel and delicate flowers. With air, subtle accents of almond, biscuit and gentle spice begin to emerge. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe palate is lively, generous and beautifully balanced. Juicy red fruit is supported by refreshing acidity and a fine mineral backbone, while extended lees aging contributes a smooth, creamy texture and delicate notes of brioche. The finish is dry, focused and persistent, with lingering red-fruit, citrus and savory mineral notes. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOnly the first pressing of the grapes is used. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks, and malolactic fermentation is avoided for the white and rosé wines to preserve freshness and natural acidity. The Champagne is aged for approximately four years on its lees before release, developing greater texture and complexity while retaining its vibrant fruit. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Bara family has been closely associated with the Grand Cru village of Bouzy since 1833. The estate farms approximately 11 hectares of vineyards planted primarily to Pinot Noir, with a smaller proportion of Chardonnay. Its Champagnes are known for their combination of ripe fruit, fine structure, freshness and a distinctive expression of Bouzy’s clay-limestone and chalk-rich terroir. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrapes:\u003c\/strong\u003e 80% Pinot Noir, including 12% Bouzy Rouge, and 20% Chardonnay\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e France\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Champagne\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSubregion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Montagne de Reims\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVillage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bouzy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClassification:\u003c\/strong\u003e Grand Cru\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Non-Vintage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVine Age:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 35 years on average\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e Clay and limestone over deep chalk\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFarming:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sustainable, lutte raisonnée\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVinification:\u003c\/strong\u003e First pressing only; fermented in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMalolactic Fermentation:\u003c\/strong\u003e None for the white and rosé base wines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLees Aging:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately four years before release\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDosage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 8 grams per liter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAlcohol:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 12.5%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dry, vibrant, creamy and red-fruit-driven Grand Cru rosé Champagne\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eServing Temperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 46–50°F\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood Pairings:\u003c\/strong\u003e Serve as an aperitif or pair with smoked salmon, tuna tartare, sushi, grilled shrimp, lobster, duck breast, roast poultry, pork tenderloin, charcuterie, creamy cheeses or red-berry desserts.
