Paul Bara Grand Millesime Grand Cru Brut, Champagne, France 2018

Grand Millésime Grand Cru Brut 2018 is a beautifully structured vintage Champagne from the renowned Montagne de Reims village of Bouzy, crafted by one of the region’s benchmark grower‑producers. Based largely on Pinot Noir from Grand Cru vineyards, the 2018 vintage reveals layered aromas of ripe apple, baked pear, citrus zest, and toasted brioche, accented by hints of almond and chalky minerality. The palate is rich yet precise, with fine, persistent mousse and vibrant acidity supporting a core of orchard fruit and subtle spice. Elegant, complex, and age‑worthy, this vintage cuvée delivers both depth and finesse—an exceptional grower Champagne that shines both as an aperitif and alongside refined cuisine.

"The 2018 Brut Grand Millésime is very fine. Aromatic and light in body, the 2018 is a typical, gracious wine for the year. Dried pear, crushed flowers, chamomile, mint and tangerine oil are nicely lifted in this understated yet classy offering from Bara." Vinous 92
