Champagne Barons de Rothschild Concordia Brut NV (France)

Description

Dry, Honey, Pear

A very fine blended wine based on a majority of Chardonnay The Rothschild Family’s take on the great Champagne tradition. The breadth and depth of this wine are a testament to the high proportion and exceptional quality of the reserve wines that have gone into the blend. Bright, clear, pale gold tints woven with very fine bubbles. The freshness of the Chardonnay, aromas of white flesh fruit such as pears and nectarines, ethereal touches of peony expressed by the Pinot Noir. On the second nose: a spicier range, complexity with aromas of dried apricots and almonds. Roundness and generosity accompany a lovely verticality. Crisp nectarine, notes of honey, saffron and pepper nicely set off by lovely bitters on the finish.

Exclusive use of the cuvée (first press). Alcoholic fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless-steel vats, malolactic fermentation. Long ageing on the fine lees for 6 to 7 months.

Food Pairing: Ideal as an aperitif or enjoyed throughout a meal with dishes such as gently fried sea scallops, shellfish or rockfish. You can also pair it with a risotto, fine white meat or a farmhouse Brie de Meaux cheese.
