NV Paul Bara Bouzy Rose

The NV Brut Grand Rose is an absolutely delicious wine, particularly at the NV level. This is a serious rose, which is immediately evident in the wine’s dark hue and dense, full-bodied personality. Their wine possesses layers of candied Pinot fruit, all woven together in a rich, sensual style. This sweeping, large-scaled rose will offer its finest drinking at the dinner table. This is Lot 235066, disgorged November 6, 2007. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2011. This is a superb set of releases from Bara, arguably the most renowned grower in the village of Bouzy, where Pinot Noir reigns supreme. Importer: Kermit Lynch, Berkeley, CA; tel. (510) 524-1524

One of the small, high quality Champagne estates, Paul Bara's current line-up includes some marvelous, precise, impeccably well-balanced Champagnes that are at the top of the qualitative pyramid. The non-vintage Brut Rose (100% Bouzy) exhibits a light, subtle pinkish color, followed by elegant, strawberry/framboise-like aromas, excellent richness, small, pinpoint, persistent bubbles, and a long, dry, rich finish without excessive acidity. It is a refreshing, flavorful Champagne to drink over the next 4-5 years. This wine was tasted in May, 1997.
