93 points James Suckling: "Ambitious style for rosé, very toasty and spicy, showing walnuts, redcurrants, lots of violets and raspberries. Fine bubbles are tight and savory. Light- to medium-bodied with elegant texture despite the phenolics. Drink now. (7/16/25)"
Like all of Paul Bara’s releases, Pinot Noir is the back-bone of their Special Club. Production is strictly old-school, with only free run and first press juice used, fermentation in small cement tanks, and aging and riddling in cold, extremely deep cellars for several years. Nothing is released until ready. Each year, the Special Club represents the pinnacle of the Bara process and style. Superlatives seem to be insufficient when describing the experience of savoring a glass of this Champagne. It simply has it all—refined hazel-nutty, toasty notes, bright acidity, some of the most delicate bubbles ever created, and a finish that lasts and lasts (sometimes longer than the bottle does).
