Paul Bara Brut Rosé Champagne Bouzy Grand Cru NV

96 points Decanter: "(80% Pinot Noir, 20% Chardonnay) Enticing creamy raspberry and ground almond notes which propel over the pink grapefruit acidity and gorgeous glowing, silky mousse. Delicate with a crushed red fruit ending. Alcohol 12.5%. (DWWA 2024)"

94 points Tyson Stelzer (The Champagne Guide): "(20% chardonnay, 80% pinot noir; Bouzy; 12% Bouzy rouge vinified in stainless steel; 7g/L dosage). A beautiful rosé that shines with the bright intensity of Bouzy pinot noir and the crystalline definition of salt minerality zapped with tangy malic acidity. A dose of 12% Bouzy rouge lends but a hint of pink to its delicate, pretty, bright straw hue. It’s a wonderful expression of the character of Bouzy translated with detail and finesse, filled with strawberry and cranberry fruits and fragranced with rose petals of lifted, lively character. Fine tannin structure melds with salt minerality to provide grip and structure in unison with tangy and persistent malic acidity. It’s thrillingly primary and enticingly moreish, with just subtle allusions of ginger-cake spice beginning to appear on a long finish. (2020-2021)"

93 points James Suckling: "Attractive fruit with sliced-strawberry and apple aromas and flavors. Medium-bodied with fresh apples and citrus as well as touches of heather and bread dough. Tangy at the end. 70% pinot noir, 10% Bouzy rouge and 20% chardonnay. Dosage 5 g/L. Drink now. (7/16/25)"
