AWARDS

15/20 in the Gault&Millau Guide 2013 "Crystal clear champagne, with fine bubbles and a fresh and creamy mousse. The nose is delicate but expressive, with aromas of white flowers, Beurré Hardy pears, citrus fruits and dried fruits. The palate is frank, tasty and mineral."

TECHNICAL SHEET:

Vinification: This vintage, made exclusively from Chardonnays, comes from the main vintages of the Côte des Blancs: Avize, Cramant, Mesnil-sur-Oger, Oger and Vertus. The reserve wines are included in the blend at a rate of 40%, an exceptional expertise of the Maison Barons de Rothschild, which makes it a major asset in the ability to recompose a consistent blend each year.

Tasting: To the eye: The Blanc de Blancs is distinguished by its crystalline golden yellow color that reveals a fine foam and a persistent bead of delicate bubbles. To the nose: The Chardonnay stands out particularly in this vintage with aromas of rare intensity and purity. The nose, dominated by citrus fruits, is mixed with aromatic hints of fresh almonds and dried fruits. To the palate: The attack is precise, clean, followed by a silky freshness supported by notes of citrus fruits and white-fleshed fruits. The creamy sensation of the finely chiseled bubbles is associated with a distinguished and persistent mineral sweetness.

Characteristics: A model of balance where the purity and brilliance of the Chardonnay sublimate this exceptional Champagne. Each Champagne Barons de Rothschild has the exceptional characteristics that make it a very great Champagne. The Blanc de Blancs Barons de Rothschild asserts its finesse through its blend of the greatest Chardonnays of Champagne after at least three years of aging in the cellar. With an inimitable sparkle, delicate bubbles accompanied by luminous gold highlights, it reveals notes of fresh fruit and ripe citrus fruits on the nose. The very low dosage of this wine and its long aging after disgorging (6 to 9 months) give it its maturity. The Chardonnay can develop all its authenticity and purity, which can be appreciated at any time of the day. We find in this pure, delicate and complex cuvée the choice taken by the Rothschild Family in the development of its wines: the concern for perfection, consistency, with a spirit of refinement and excellence that are the object of the greatest attention. Emblem that characterizes the House of Barons de Rothschild, the Chardonnay here signs the refined and audacious style that singularizes the passion of the Rothschild Family for this grape variety in Champagne.
