Barons de Rothschild : Brut Rosé

A balanced and aromatic Brut Rosé champagne unveiled by Barons de Rothschild

The estate

Founded in 2005, the Barons de Rothschild Champagne House has established strong relationships with partner producers to craft champagnes of a rare elegance from exceptional terroirs and rigorously selected grapes. "Accomplishing through great achievements", such has been the Rothschild family’s ambition for more than 250 years. Through the strength of its wine-growing experience, the family has joined forces with producers from Champagne to develop excellent champagnes which bring together know-how and tradition.

With the values of excellence, good taste and conviviality, the Barons de Rothschild Champagne House, which head office has been located in Reims since 2007, near illustrous estates in the Champagne wine region, unveils cuvées which unique style harmoniously combines finesse, balance and purity.

The vineyard

The champagnes of the Barons de Rothschild Champagne House are made of grapes derived from exceptional terroirs in Champagne, notably the grands crus and the premiers crus of Côte des Blancs.

Blend

The blend of this Brut Rosé of the Barons de Rothschild Champagne House is 85% Chardonnay, made from the crus of Côte des Blancs (Avize, Cramant, Mesnil-sur-Oger, Oger…) and 15% Pinot Noir from the Reims mountain, of which a small proportion (7 to 9%) is made into red wine. The reserve wines, which supplement up to 5 to 10% of the blend, indicate a high quality and great ageing potential.

Winemaking

This low-dose Brut Rosé from the Barons de Rothschild Champagne House benefits from an additional ageing time of 3 months after disgorging, thus developing the purity of this cuvée and its delicate expression of Champagne grape varieties.

The wine is a beautiful pale pink colour, adorned with subtle salmony highlights.
