A critically acclaimed non-vintage wine, the Champagne Barons de Rothschild Blanc de Blancs is a crowd-pleaser and a favorite of even the most selective wine enthusiasts. Today we’re taking a closer look at this seasonal pick and getting to know a bit more about the Barons de Rothschild family.
This Chardonnay blend is characterized by silky freshness with hints of citrus and other fruits.
According to the producer, “Every Barons de Rothschild Champagne has exceptional characteristics that make each Champagne unique and great. The celebrated finesse in the Barons de Rothschild Blanc de Blancs comes from the blend of the greatest Chardonnay grapes in Champagne after at least four years of cellars ageing. Inimitable brilliance, delicate bubbles, luminous golden glints, the Barons de Rothschild Blanc de Blancs reveals notes of fresh fruit and ripe citrus. The very low dosage and long ageing after disgorging (6 to 9 months) enhance its innate quality. The Chardonnay develops its inherent authenticity and purity, for full appreciation for every occasion and at any time throughout the day.”

Noted from the producer:
The Blanc de Blancs is distinguished by its crystalline pale yellow robe which brings to light the fine frothiness and persistent strands of delicate bubbles. The Chardonnay is extremely distinctive in this cuvée with intense aromas of rare purity. Dominant notes of citrus mingle with aromatic hints of fresh almond and dried fruits. Very precise and clear attack followed by silky freshness upheld by notes of citrus and white fruit. Creamy sensation of finely chiselled bubbles combines with persistent, distinguished mineral sweetness.
This great Champagne is appropriate before dinner at any time of year, but it pairs especially well with seafood platters in the summer. The Blanc de Blancs is the perfect accompaniment for a lobster soufflé, a carpaccio of scallops or shellfish with a light citrus dressing. Enjoy the cuvée with your main course, pairing it with grilled sea bass dressed with dill, then with a lemon tart for dessert.
A rich, leesy version, with pastry dough, macerated apricot, lemon curd and salted butter notes, backed by sleek acidity and a smoky, mineral-laced undertow. Creamy. Drink now through 2023.
Toasty grilled almonds and dried flowers on the nose, with some chalky notes. too, this has both complexity and freshness. The palate delivers smooth lemon and white peach sorbet. Supple and creamy. Drink now.
The style of Rothschild is represented with elegant wines, signed by the finesse of the Chardonnay, a low dosage to hide nothing.

Several grape varieties are used to make Champagne, each one bringing its own distinctive hallmark. Many sparkling wines are referred to as Champagne nowadays, but don’t have the true distinction. Simply put, it’s only Champagne if it comes from Champagne, France.
