Implanted in 1833 in Bouzy, a terroir classified Grand Cru 100%, Maison Bara has been handed down from generation to generation for over 180 years.
Over the decades, the Champagne Bara has managed to pRéserver its artisanal character, while evolving technically to perfect its autonomy and constantly improve the quality of its production: installation of an automated press, a temperature-controlled vat room and extension of the cellar. Above all, Maison Bara works with a deep respect for the land and its environment.
The vineyard of Paul Bara is located in Bouzy, a terroir classified 100% Grand Cru of great renown. A reputation earned thanks to the rich, highly expressive characters of its Pinot Noirs.
The Paul Bara vineyard enjoys a full southern exposure, providing perfect conditions for grape ripening. It is among the 30 best-situated sites at Bouzy. The chalk, predominant on the Bouzy terroir, helps drain the soils of excess water and gives the grapes the necessary minerals.
In 2021, Stéphanie Ducloux is appointed Director, when Chantal takes on the role of President.
Both of them, through sustainable viticulture, watch over the 11 hectares of Domaine, divided into 33 parcels including 9.5 ha of Pinot Noir and 1.5 ha of Chardonnay.
A sophisticated expression of the Bouzy Grand Cru terroir, the Champagne Paul Bara Grand Millésime 2018 is a blend of 90% pinot noir and 10% chardonnay.
Made without malolactic fermentation, it retains a freshness and liveliness that make it a very well-balanced Champagne.
To the eye, it has a luminous buttercup color, underlined by a sustained, lively effervescence. The initial nose reveals pastry-like aromas of white fruit, cookie dough and candied strawberry. As it opens, the bouquet evolves towards deeper notes of honey and nougat.
On the palate, it offers an ample, gourmet attack, carried by a creamy texture that blends harmoniously with subtle salinity. Flavors of honey and pear dominate, while the minerality, typical of the Bouzy terroir, is fully expressed. The finish is long and elegant, marked by beautiful persistence and mineral depth.
This 2018 vintage goes well with a variety of delicate dishes such as gougères, brioche white pudding, cherry tomato clafoutis or poultry quenelle.
