Champagne Paul Bara Extra Brut
D.O Champagne
Pinot Noir Chardonnay
Description
Discover liquid excellence with Champagne Paul Bara Extra Brut, an oenological gem from the prestigious Grand Cru terroir of Bouzy in the Montagne de Reims. This exceptional cuvée reflects a family tradition dating back to 1833, where passion for the vine and respect for the environment are bottled in every vintage. Crafted from a masterful blend of 80% Pinot Noir and 20% Chardonnay, this champagne stands out for its unmatched purity and vibrant character.
The absence of malolactic fermentation and a minimal dosage of approximately 2 g/L allow the chalky minerality of Bouzy’s soil to express itself with total clarity. During its extended aging on lees in the winery’s underground cellars, it develops a fascinating aromatic complexity, balancing fresh fruit with mature bakery notes.
Ideal for the most demanding palates seeking a dry, structured, and authentic champagne. Whether to celebrate a special occasion or to accompany haute cuisine, Champagne Paul Bara Extra Brut guarantees sophistication and pleasure.
