The property
Founded in 2005, the Champagne House of Barons de Rothschild is a creation of family and heart, resulting from the unprecedented alliance between the three branches (Château Mouton Rothschild, Château Clarke, Château Lafite Rothschild), aiming to magnify the majestic Champagne terroir which embodies beyond borders the quality and art of living. "To achieve through great achievements", such has been the ambition for over 250 years of the Rothschild family who, with their winemaking experience in Bordeaux, produce excellent champagnes at the crossroads of know-how and tradition.
Carrying values of excellence, taste and conviviality, the Champagne House of Barons de Rothschild, whose headquarters has been located in Reims since 2007 near illustrious Champagne properties, unveils cuvées whose singular style harmoniously blends finesse, balance and purity.
The vineyard
The "Rare Collection" Blanc de Blancs cuvée from Barons de Rothschild is made from four Grand Crus of Champagne, located on the Côte des Blancs (Avize, Cramant, Oger, Le Mesnil-sur-Oger).
The vintage
A mild and wet winter precedes a particularly dry spring. The cool and rainy summer gives way to a September whose warmth ensures optimal ripening of the grapes. Despite low yields, the harvest combines concentration, finesse and quality.
Vinification and aging
Exclusive use of the cuvée (first press). Parcel vinification in small 20hl stainless steel tanks and a small proportion in barrels. This Blanc de Blancs champagne undergoes a 9-month aging on fine lees in small tanks, accompanied by regular stirring, followed by a minimum of 8 years aging on lees in the cellar. The dosage of this extra brut cuvée is 4 g/l and the resting period after disgorging is a minimum of 12 months.
Grape variety
This 2014 vintage champagne is a 100% chardonnay.
