Paul Bara Grand Millésime 2018 - Champagne Brut

Description

A sophisticated expression of the Bouzy Grand Cru terroir, the Champagne Paul Bara Grand Millésime 2018 is a blend of 90% pinot noir and 10% chardonnay. Made without malolactic fermentation, it retains a freshness and liveliness that make it a very well-balanced Champagne. To the eye, it has a luminous buttercup color, underlined by a sustained, lively effervescence. The initial nose reveals pastry-like aromas of white fruit, cookie dough and candied strawberry. As it opens, the bouquet evolves towards deeper notes of honey and nougat. On the palate, it offers an ample, gourmet attack, carried by a creamy texture that blends harmoniously with subtle salinity. Flavors of honey and pear dominate, while the minerality, typical of the Bouzy terroir, is fully expressed. The finish is long and elegant, marked by beautiful persistence and mineral depth. This 2018 vintage goes well with a variety of delicate dishes such as gougères, brioche white pudding, cherry tomato clafoutis or poultry quenelle.
