$64.95 $93.00 - 750mL

Quite simply, Paul Bara epitomizes all that is wonderful about old world, hand-crafted Champagne, and a true “grower” Champagne before that was even a thing. First brought to the attention of Americans by beloved importer Kermit Lynch, the house has quickly become THE house in the Bouzy region. We are thrilled to have scored a small parcel at this superb price -- if you’re not already putting some in your cart, that is!

If you know, you know, as they say - this is a wine to stock up on for the future and one to enjoy now (we are!). It’s got that beautiful, fine-crafted texture, subtle spices, terrific balance and sense of place. Happy Holidays, indeed!

PAIRING IDEAS: We love this wine with smoky/salty ham. We often get a good heritage ham and put it in the smoker for an extra kick, and make a mustard-y sauce with a bit of bubbly or Riesling in the sauce. With potatoes and sides, it’s killer!

MUSIC SUGGESTIONS: Check out the 2020 album called “Rare Changes” by Mayer Hawthorne -- pretty cool vibe and fun bubbly music!

About The Producer

The Bara property was built in 1860. In the beginning, it was a farm with stables, a cow shed, a sheep pen and a cellar; however, in 1965, the barn was transformed into a press room and a winery. Paul Bara, the father of today's owner Chantale, was the first of the dynasty to sell champagne under the brand of the same name in the 1950s. In 1975, the Bara champagne house innovatively became one of the first to export its champagnes to the United States, long before "grower Champagne" was a thing.

Reviews

Vinous
Candied apricot, dried flowers, chamomile and spice give the 2014 Brut Grand Millésime a real sense of exoticism that is impossible to miss. Ample and creamy, the 2014 possesses terrific resonance and plenty of depth, all in a style that can be enjoyed with minimal, if any, cellaring. Disgorged: July, 2019.
