BARA,P 04 BT G CRU
The village of Bouzy and Champagne Paul Bara are practically synonymous. As the published village historian, Paul has been closely linked to the lore of his hometown. After some sixty harvests Paul has finally turned the winemaking reins over to his very capable daughter Chantale. While not ponderous in the least, Chatale's 2004 showcases Bouzy's terroir beautifully with its juxtaposition of highly focused Pinot Noir fruit with deep-seated minerality. It is 90% Pinot Noir and 10% Chardonnay produced only in the very best years from vines averaging 35 years age.
