Champagne Barons de Rothschild Concordia Brut is a wine which unites the three Rothschild families for the very first time. The family are associated with some of the most prestigious wines in the world, have come together to create a true Rothschild family product. The Champagnes were first launched in Japan in 2009 with wider distribution coming in 2011. Concordia Brut is the new name for the wine previously known as simply “Brut”.
Champagne Barons de Rothschild was created in 2003 by Baroness Philippine (Chateau Mouton), Baron Eric (Chateau Lafite) & Baron Benjamin (Chateau Clarke), people who don’t lend their name to just any old wine project. This excellent Champagne is produced from made from a selection of Premier and Grand Cru Champagnes sourced from some of the best wine-growers in the heart of the Côte des Blancs and Montagne de Reims regions, where some of the very best wines in the region are produced. Based on their combined experience in Bordeaux (and at wineries around the world) the family works with its partners on an equal footing liaising very closely with growers for vineyard management etc. Their headquarters in Reims was opened in 2007 on the corner of the boulevard Lundy and the street Camille Lenoir. In 2007 the company also acquired a facility and cellars in Vertus with the acquisition of the Maison Prieur. The growers they work with have around 70 hectares of vineyards and they own the 1 hectare Clos Prieur. As well as the Concordia Brut, there is also a Brut Nature, Blanc de Blancs and Rosé produced.
Champagne Barons de Rothschild Concordia Brut is only blended from the “cuvées” (first pressings) with all “tailles” being automatically graded separately and resold to other Champagne producers. The house style of Champagne is represented by elegant wines, influenced by the finesse of the Chardonnay which dominates the wine and a low dosage.
The Brut cuvée is a complex blend of 60% Chardonnay, primarily from the Côte des Blancs Grands Crus and Premiers Crus (Avize, Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Oger, Trépail and Vertus), and 40% Pinot Noir primarily from the best Pinot Noir terroirs (Verzenay, Ay, Mareuil-sur Ay and Ambonnay). 85% of the grapes are sourced from Granc Cru and 1er Cru rated vineyards. 40% of the wine the cuveé is mude up of reserve wines, the majority of which are kept in the house’s “perpetual reserve” (solera). The wine is aged for a minimum of three and a half years in the cellars prior to disgorgement and is aged for a further 6 months after after the disgorgement process prior to release. Dosage is 6 g/L
Champagne Barons de Rothschild Concordia Brut is a bright, clear, pale golden colour very fine bubbles.
The complex nose displays the freshness of the Chardonnay, aromas of white flesh fruit such as pears and nectarines, ethereal touches of peony expressed by the Pinot Noir. There are also spicy naunces and aromas of dried apricots and almonds.
The palate demonstrates great roundness and generosity with a lovely verticality. Crisp nectarine, notes of honey, saffron and pepper nicely set off by lovely bitters on the finish.
