Barons de Rothschild : Brut Nature

Characteristics and tasting advice for the "Brut Nature" cuvée from Barons de Rothschild

Tasting

Color
A silky color of great purity, adorned with pale gold reflections and animated by a remarkably fine effervescence.

Nose
The nose opens on pure and frank notes, mixing salinity with aromas of white flesh fruits (peach, nectarine).

Palate
The attack is fresh and invigorating, stretching into a beautiful lemony and saline tension. The aromatic richness, dominated by white flesh fruits, is associated with a juicy and precise texture as well as a perfect balance, characteristic of this non-dosed champagne.

Food and wine pairings

The Brut Nature beautifully accompanies a carpaccio of langoustines or scallops enhanced with yuzu lemon. It also pairs with a medallion of veal served with fresh pasta with white truffles. For dessert, lemony mignardises will enhance its flavors.

Service

Serve between 8 and 10 °C.

The vineyard

The "Brut Nature" cuvée from Barons de Rothschild is made from a carefully selected blend, composed of more than 85% of grands and premiers crus from Champagne.

Vinification and aging

Only the cuvée, from the first press, is used for this elaboration. Parcel vinification. After an alcoholic fermentation mainly in stainless steel tanks, a small proportion in barrels and a malolactic fermentation, the wine is aged on fine lees for 6 to 7 months. It then rests for at least 4 years on lees before disgorging, followed by an additional 6 months to refine its texture. Non-dosed, this cuvée guarantees an authentic and pure expression.

Blend

Chardonnay (60%) from the Côté des Blancs, pinot noir (40%) and reserve wines (40%) with a majority from a perpetual reserve.
