Barons de Rothschild Concordia Brut (75cl)

A non-vintage Champagne from Barons de Rothschild, blended mainly from Chardonnay with Pinot Noir. The cuvée uses only first-press juice, with alcoholic fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks and malolactic fermentation, followed by fine lees ageing of six to seven months. Dosage is 6 g/L, with at least 3.5 years on lees and at least six months after disgorging. The house describes a pale gold colour with fine bubbles, Chardonnay freshness, pear and nectarine, Pinot peony, dried apricot and almond, then a round, vertical palate with nectarine, honey, saffron and pepper and a slightly bitter finish. Serve at 8 to 10 C with scallops, shellfish, sea bream, risotto, white meat or Brie.
