The Barons de Rothschild Brut is aerial Champagne that is rich and complex. The blend uses three to four-year old Chardonnays and Pinots Noirs from the best land in Champagne. This subtle blend produces a wine with fabulously f ine bubbles, elegant golden colour and f ine, delicate nuances of white fruit. Low dosage and at least six months' time after disgorging gives this Champagne beautifully balanced structure on the palate that is highly appreciated when served as the aperitif or throughout the meal. Appearance: Pale gold glints mingling with very f ine bubbles which produce abundant, persistent frothiness Nose: aromas of pear, almonds and fresh hazelnuts which mingle with notes of white f lowers and light accents of brioche.
