Champagne Baron De Rothschild Blanc de Blancs

Champagne Baron De Rothschild Blanc de Blancs is crystal clear golden yellow with a fine foam and persistent delicate bubbles.

The grapes for Barons de Rothschild Blanc de Blancs are harvested by hand and come from the best areas in Champagne. Champagne Baron De Rothschild Blanc de Blancs is made on a base wine consisting of 100% Chardonnay. Many champagnes are made from the grape must from both the first and second pressing, but for Barons de Rothschild champagne only the grape must from the first pressing is used.

The grape must from the first pressing is poured into small tanks, where fruit residues are allowed to fall to the bottom, so that the must becomes as clear as possible. First fermentation takes place in small stainless steel tanks. Yeast is added to each individual tank. The tanks are temperature controlled and fermentation takes place at a low temperature. The malolactic fermentation then takes place. After clarification and filtration, the base wine is often mixed with Reserve wines from previous vintages. Blanc de Blancs contains 40% Reserve wines. The mixed wine is poured into bottles, a little yeast and sugar are added and the wine is stored at a low temperature (13ºC), whereby the fine bubbles are formed.

In the castle's cellars, the bottles are well protected from light and undergo a slow ageing. Barons de Rothschild Blanc de Blancs is aged for three to four years in the cellar, after which the champagne is finished and aged for six to nine months. It is then prepared for sale.

Scent: Citrus fruits mixed with aromatic hints of fresh almonds and dried fruit.
Taste: The first taste impression is clean and clear and is followed by a silky freshness with notes of citrus fruits. The delicious feeling of the fine bubbles is accompanied by a persistent and distinct mineral softness.
Suitable for: Welcome, all fish, shellfish and for light sour desserts.
