Barons de Rothschild Champagne Rare Collection Blanc de Blancs Vintage 2012, A.C. Champagne, France

£275.00

Champagne Barons de Rothschild; a Champagne House that is owned and managed by all three branches of the Rothschild family; Domaine Barons de Rothschild, Baron Philippe de Rothschild and Baron Edmond de Rothschild.  This limited edition, vintage Champagne is made from grapes grown in four Champagne Grand Crus in the Côte des Blancs (Avize, Cramant, Oger, Le Mesnil-sur-Oger).

2012 was a challenging year for Champagne, with heavy rainfall and hail throughout the year. However, a warm August saved the vintage and produced low yields of very high quality grapes. Using 100% Chardonnay grapes from exclusively Grand Cru estates, this vintage Champagne is full and complex, with notes of citrus, white fruits, roasted mocha and vanilla. The rich flavours are balanced with a mineral-driven structure with a fine, persistent mousse.
