Product Description
Established in Bouzy in 1833 and now one of champagne's most revered récoltants-manipulants, Paul Bara crafts all wines exclusively from their own Grand Cru vines — a rarity in a region dominated by large houses. The 'Comtesse Marie de France' Blanc de Noirs 2014 earns 94 points from Antonio Galloni (Vinous), who praised it as showcasing "expressive purity, layered citrus and orchard fruit, finely balanced structure supported by vibrant acidity and mineral length" — a 100% Pinot Noir champagne aged nine years on lees, delivering remarkable tension and deep mineral complexity unique to Bouzy's chalky Grand Cru terroir.
Admired for its complexity and focused elegance, this Paul Bara champagne opens with dried cherry, strawberry, mint, and crushed herbs, framed by creamy brioche and white flowers. The palate is silky yet precise, with salivating acidity, layered spice, and a long, mineral-driven finish.
