Barons de Rothschild Brut Nature

I love the white flowers, lemon cream and just a hint of toast here. A seriously structured wine with a firm core and quite some salinity. Lots of dried herbs at the end. Impressive balance at the surprisingly long finish. 60% chardonnay and 40% pinot noir including 40% reserve wines from a perpetual solera. Drink now.

Medium golden yellow, silver reflections, delicate mousse. Ripe yellow apple fruit nuances, delicate cookie, a hint of mango and papaya, fine blossom honey, inviting bouquet. Taut, good complexity, yellow apple, fine acidity, mineral and persistent, a harmonious food companion with a pleasantly dry finish.

A blend of 60% Chardonnay (sourced only in the Côte de Blancs) and 40% Pinot Noir, the Barons de Rothschild NV Brut Nature evokes a delicate, saline bouquet with aromas of iodine, peach, spring flowers and pepper. Medium-bodied with an incisive, tense palate, it has a mouthwatering, penetrating finish.
